000009584 520__ $$2eng$$aIn Algeria, the seismic risk threat the large cities, and more particularly the Algiers Metropolitan City which contains a very old urban nuclei mainly made up of masonry buildings (stone and/or brick). The expertises carried out on this kind of structures showed the low resistance of this type of construction towards seismic action. The study of the seismic vulnerability of masonry buildings is thus of topicality and constitutes a fundamental stage for the reduction of the losses due to earthquakes in this city. This vulnerability can be reduced if preventive measures are taken. In this work, we will present an estimate of the vulnerability degree of Algiers masonry buildings by using the “Vulnerability Index Method”. This one will allow us to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of these buildings then to carry out their classification according to their seismic quality.
