Damage Levels
413
Green tag
No damage. Fine cracks to the infill walls and ceiling mortar. Hairline cracks in horizontal RC structural members.
414
Yellow tag
"Large patches of mortar falling off walls and ceilings. Cracks in structural RC members (beams, columns, shear walls) but to an extent that does not constitute danger of collapse. Slight distortion of structural elements.
415
Red tag
Heavy damage and distortion of structural elements. Large number of crushed structural elements and connections. Considerable dislocation of a storey and of the whole building.
416
Black tag
Partial or complete collapse (loss of 50% of the building’s volume has taken place at one or more floors).
Notes on Damage Levels
To the original three colour tagging scheme, ''green'', ''yellow'', ''red'' a fourth was added ("black'') to capture buildings that collapsed (only one in the study area).

Building Classes
412
RC1-LP
Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed before the introduction of any seismic code (before 1959). They have 1 to 3 stroreys and soft storey (pilotis) at the ground floor level.
413
RC1-L
Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed before the introduction of any seismic code (before 1959). They have 1 to 3 stroreys and regural ground floor.
414
RC1-M
Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed before the introduction of any seismic code (before 1959). They have 4 to 7 stroreys and regural ground floor.
415
RC2-LP
Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed according to the 1959 Greek Seismic Code. They have 1 to 3 stroreys and and soft storey (pilotis) at the ground floor level.
416

Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed according to the 1959 Greek Seismic Code. They have 1 to 3 stroreys and and regural ground floor.
417
RC2-MP
Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed according to the 1959 Greek Seismic Code. They have 4 to 7 stroreys and and soft storey (pilotis) at the ground floor level.
418

Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed according to the 1984 revision of the Greek Seismic Code. They have 1 to 3 stroreys and regural ground floor.
421
RC3-MP
Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed according to the 1984 revision of the Greek Seismic Code. They have 4 to 7 stroreys and soft storey (pilotis) at the ground floor level.
422
RC3-M
Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed according to the 1984 revision of the Greek Seismic Code. They have 4 to 7 stroreys and regural ground floor.
423
RC3-HP
Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed according to the 1984 revision of the Greek Seismic Code. They have 8 stroreys and soft storey (pilotis) at the ground floor level.
424

Reinforced concrete frame with unreinforced hollow brick infill wall constructed according to the 1984 revision of the Greek Seismic Code. They have 8 stroreys and regural ground floor.
Notes on Building Classes
The data set consists of 1149 RC buildings, split into 13 classes based on the construction period, the number of storeys and the type of ground floor
