Download or read book Seismic Loss Estimations for Buildings in Dallas Fort Worth Region written by Yasaman Zeinali and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent increase in the number of earthquakes in Texas has raised concerns about the region's buildings and infrastructure. Due to the historically low natural seismicity in the area, many buildings are built without considering seismic design and detailing specifications, which is causing more concern. This thesis seeks to establish a process for conducting seismic risk assessments and economic loss estimations for the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area in Texas. For defined earthquake scenarios in the area, this research examines the level of building damage and related direct economic losses. A loss assessment is conducted for a few scenario earthquakes for the DFW area, and the regional damage and economic losses are estimated. HAZUS fragility curves are used for various types of buildings and seismic design classifications to understand seismic vulnerability of building structures. All of the input data, including the building inventory dataset, seismic hazard and shaking map, fragility curves, and damage assessment equations to estimate economic losses are implemented in the ShakeRisk software, and economic losses are estimated according to this damage assessment framework. The findings show that seismic events of small to moderate magnitude have the potential to cause major economic losses in the DFW area. The findings of the seismic risk assessment will aid decision-makers in predicting and planning for the probable damages and economic losses from potential earthquakes in the area

Download or read book Human Casualties in Earthquakes written by Robin Spence and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessment of human casualties in earthquakes has become a topic of vital importance for national and urban authorities responsible for emergency provision, for the development of mitigation strategies and for the development of adequate insurance schemes. In the last few years important work has been carried out on a number of recent events (including earthquakes in Kocaeli, Turkey 1999, Niigata Japan, 2004, Sichuan, China 2008 and L'Aquila,Italy 2009). These events have created new and detailed casualty data, which has not until now been properly assembled and evaluated. This book draws the new evidence from recent events together with existing knowledge. It summarises current trends in the understanding of the factors influencing the numbers and types of casualties in earthquakes; it offers methods to incorporate this understanding into the estimation of losses in future events in different parts of the world; it discusses ways in which pre-event mitigation activity and post-event emergency management can reduce the toll of casualties in future events; and it identifies future research needs.

This book was released on 2010-12-06 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an insight in advanced methods and concepts for structural analysis and design against seismic loading. The book consists of 25 chapters dealing with a wide range of timely issues in contemporary Earthquake Engineering. In brief, the topics covered are: collapse assessment, record selection, effect of soil conditions, problems in seismic design, protection of monuments, earth dam structures and liquid containers, numerical methods, lifetime assessment, post-earthquake measures. A common ground of understanding is provided between the communities of Earth Sciences and Computational Mechanics towards mitigating seismic risk. The topic is of great social and scientific interest, due to the large number of scientists and practicing engineers currently working in the field and due to the great social and economic consequences of earthquakes.
