Area of Science:

  • Engineering
  • Natural Hazards
  • Risk Management

Background:

  • Assessing building vulnerability to natural disasters like earthquakes and windstorms is crucial for risk management.
  • Existing methodologies may lack global applicability or comprehensive integration of hazard and vulnerability data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a universal loss assessment methodology for earthquake and windstorm perils.
  • To integrate hazard estimation with building structural response parameters for accurate loss prediction.

Main Methods:

  • Incorporated latest hazard estimation data with parameters defining windstorm and earthquake intensity on structures.
  • Evaluated building vulnerability using historical damage data and key structural properties (age, design, construction quality).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Developed risk-specific mathematical vulnerability functions to predict damage probability and translated damage into monetary loss using cost factors.

    • Main Results:

    • The methodology is applicable worldwide across diverse hazard levels, from low to extreme.
    • It enables accurate estimation of losses for potential scenario events tied to defined return periods.
    • The approach successfully translates predicted damage into quantifiable financial losses.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed methodology provides a universal and accurate tool for loss assessment for earthquake and windstorm events.
    • It significantly enhances risk assessment and planning capabilities by providing reliable loss predictions.
    • The approach is adaptable to various building types and environmental conditions globally.
