Loss estimation for non-ductile reinforced concrete building in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada:effects of mega-thrust Mw9-class subduction earthquakes and aftershocks [PDF]
, 2015 This paper presents, within the performance-based earthquake engineering framework, a comprehensive probabilistic seismic loss estimation method that accounts for main sources of uncertainty related to hazard, vulnerability, and loss. The loss assessment
