Calculating earthquake damage building by building

2022
The creation of building exposure models for seismic risk assessment is frequently challenging due to the lack of availability of detailed information on building structures. Different strategies have been developed in recent years to overcome this, including the use of census data, remote sensing imagery and volunteered graphic information (VGI). This

Damage to Steel Buildings

2012
The Committee of Steel Structures of AIJ conducted earthquake damage reconnaissance over cities where severe ground shaking was recorded among Miyagi Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture. Tsunami damage reconnaissance was also performed along the coastlines of Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima.

Damage to Masonry Buildings

2012
This chapter describes the earthquake and tsunami damage to partially grouted concrete masonry building, fully grouted concrete masonry buildings, and concrete masonry nonbearing walls provided in reinforced concrete moment resisting framed buildings. These are all used in small housing, commercial and office buildings.

Landslide damage to buildings

Environmental Geology and Water Sciences, 1986
Landslides are a significant and expensive hazard in urban areas, however, a universal methodology for classifying the damage to buildings has not been adopted This article proposes an intensity scale for structural damage caused by subsidence, compression, or extension of the ground during landslides and offers a checklist of site observations that ...

Excavation induced building damage

2005
Ground decompression is usually associated to underground excavation, generally leading to subsidence of the surface. Consequences of such movements on existing buildings must be evaluated especially in urban areas. In this paper a Building Risk Assessment (BRA) method of the type proposed by Burland is presented. Initially, surface movement induced by

Damage to Timber Buildings

2012
The damage to timber buildings occurred over a wide swath from Tohoku down to northern Kanto. The cause of damage is divided either by ground motion or by tsunami. The damage due to ground motion is categorized by the main cause of damage, either the ground deformation including the liquefaction or the vibration of the superstructure.

Damage detection in framed buildings

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2001
The transformation matrix method for damage detection in structural elements of frame buildings, expressed as the loss of stiffness, is proposed and evaluated. The method, which allows the locating and assessing of the damage magnitude of structural elements by considering the contribution of each of them to the overall performance of the structure ...
