Earthquake-Induced Structural Damage Classification Algorithm
A classification algorithm is developed for evaluating the damage state of buildings subjected to earthquakes. Nonlinear response history analysis is used to generate the time histories of each building subjected to each earthquake. This report summarizes the analysis procedure used to extract data and describes the different classification algorithms that are developed to predict damage state....
متن کاملEarthquake induced Deterministic Damage and Economic Loss Estimation for Kolkata, India
The city of Kolkata, the State Capital of West Bengal is jolted by earthquakes time and again from the tectonic regimes of the Central Himalaya, highly seismogenic Northeast India and the active tectonics of Bengal Basin which is a pericratonic tertiary basin on which the City is located. Earthquake disaster mitigation and management necessitates seismic hazard assessment for the generation of ...
متن کاملPhotogrammetry Assisted Rapid Measurement of Earthquake-Induced Building Damage
The presented research investigates the application of close-range photogrammetry surveying techniques and Augmented Reality (AR) visualization to design a semi-automated method for rapidly measuring structural damage induced in tall buildings by seismic events such as earthquakes or explosions. Close-range photogrammetry algorithms were designed to extract spatial information from photographic...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of the Non-Structural Vulnerabilities of Hospitals Involved in the 2012 East Azerbaijan Earthquake
Background: When disasters strike, hospitals are among the first units whose efficient and timely services can be crucial and decisive in reducing mortality and rescuing the injured. Non-structural components are among domains that need to be considered in any assessment of hospitals’ readiness tools. Objectives: Given that Azerbaijan, and especially the metropolis of Tabriz, is located in the ...
متن کاملEarthquake Damage Visualization (EDV) Technique for the Rapid Detection of Earthquake-Induced Damages Using SAR Data
The damage of buildings and manmade structures, where most of human activities occur, is the major cause of casualties of from earthquakes. In this paper, an improved technique, Earthquake Damage Visualization (EDV) is presented for the rapid detection of earthquake damage using the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. The EDV is based on the pre-seismic and co-seismic coherence change method. ...
