Welcome to the Vulnerability Modellers ToolKit (VMTK)!

This Wiki is aimed to provide a comprehensive insight into this open-source toolkit developed to support earthquake engineers in the development of analytical vulnerability models. The toolkit is divided into six modules designed to guide the user through the different stages of analytical vulnerability modelling from the selection of ground motion records to the validation and verification of the models. The modules are organized into: (i) selection of ground motion records, (ii) definition of structural capacity, (iii) nonlinear dynamic analyses on single degree of freedom (SDOF) oscillators to estimate the response of the building to earthquake loads, (iv) conversion of the results from the dynamic analyses into fragility functions, (v) derivation of vulnerability functions, and (vi) validation of the results
