VulnCAST: Vulnerability & Capacity Assessment using Smart Transformers

AI-powered seismic vulnerability and capacity assessment framework for reinforced concrete structures.

Multi-Hazard Resilience
01

Overview

VulnCAST develops transformer-based and ensemble learning models for rapid seismic vulnerability assessment of reinforced concrete structures.

02

Novel contributions

  1. 01

    Transformer for fragility

    First application of attention-based architectures to seismic fragility curve generation.

  2. 02

    Multi-scale assessment

    From component-level damage to portfolio-level risk quantification.

  3. 03

    Interpretable risk models

    Attention visualization and SHAP analysis reveal which parameters drive vulnerability predictions.
