Probabilistic Assessment of Structural Damage due to Earthquakes for Buildings in Mid-America (original) (raw)

2009, Journal of Structural Engineering-asce

AI-generated Abstract

This study presents a probabilistic methodology for assessing structural damage due to earthquakes in Mid-America, addressing a critical gap in existing deterministic approaches. It establishes a set of structural damage states and introduces a calculation procedure for damage factors, linking structural performance to economic loss estimates. The findings are aimed at providing valuable information for stakeholders involved in decision-making processes regarding building repairs and associated economic impacts.
