An Open-Source Vision for HAZUS [PDF]

Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 2010
Despite the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA having spent $63M developing and administering the disaster management software Hazards U.S. HAZUS over the last decade, the system’s 2008 rating by the Office of Management and Budget was only “moderately effective.” Today’s proprietary HAZUS software code precludes usage of two major advancements ...

Fragility Curve Analysis of Medium Cable Stayed Bridge

Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2021
The seismic performance of a bridge can be shown by analyzing the vulnerability of the structure in resisting an earthquake motion and then developing into fragility curves. This study presents a convenient method to establish the fragility curve for the
