Seismic vulnerability of typical buildings in Hong Kong has been estimated based on the probable<br />

seismic demand and the likely building capacity. This is done through the estimation of ductility of the<br />

building. Five degree building damages can then be estimated as a function of seismic input. A<br />

number of journal papers have been resulted (Wen et al, 2000a-c); and the full details are referred to<br />

these references. A GIS system written on ArcView Avenue was developed (Wen et al., 2000d-e).<br />
