In this study, an alternative seismic vulnerability assessment model is developed. For this purpose, one of the most popular artificial intelligence techniques, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), is used. Many ANN models are generated using 4 different network training functions, 1 to 50 hidden neurons and combination of structural parameters like number of stories, normalized redundancy scores, overhang ratios, soft story indices, normalized total column areas, normalized total wall areas are used to achieve the best assessment performance. Duzce database is used throughout the thesis for training ANN. A neural network simulator is developed in Microsoft Excel using the weights and parameters obtained from the best model created at Duzce damage database studies. Afyon, Erzincan, and Ceyhan databases are simulated using the developed simulator. A recently created database named Zeytinburnu is used for the projection purposes. The building sesimic vulnerability assessment of Zeytinburnu area is conducted on 3043 buildings using the proposed procedure.
