ABSTRACT
In this paper, the rapid visual scanning method (PRDB) used in Turkey to predict the performance of RC buildings under the influence of earthquakes in a practical and fast way has been examined. In this context, 100 RC buildings that affected light, medium and heavy damage from the Afyon, Bingöl and Van earthquakes that occurred on different dates were examined and the success of the rapid visual scanning method applied was determined. At the same time, a computer program called EPA (Earthquake Performance Analysis) was developed in order to evaluate the parameters of the related data set faster, easier and without error. The results showed that rapid visual scanning method can be used for risk-based prioritization of buildings.
