The development of integrated tools that combine structural data, geographic information systems (GIS), and modern computational techniques will be key to improving the accuracy and efficiency of seismic vulnerability assessments. Future research should focus on improving the accuracy and efficiency of seismic vulnerability assessments.

Conventional seismic design approaches do not accurately predict structural damage and performance. Simplified modeling assumptions and lack of soil-structure interaction consideration limit the accuracy of nonlinear time history analysis. Limited three-dimensional modeling and experimental validation remain major research gaps.
