Implication

Analysis reveals that engineered reinforced concrete buildings outperform non-engineered structures in seismic performance, indicating the need for better design standards.

Key Points

Engineered buildings show significantly greater resistance to seismic forces than non-engineered buildings.
Non-engineered buildings are more prone to damage during moderate seismic events, especially at the ground floor.
Fragility curves indicate that non-engineered structures reach critical damage states at lower seismic demand levels.
The study emphasizes the urgent need for enforcing seismic standards and retrofitting practices.
