Expert System for Building Damage Evaluation in Case of Earthquake

چکیده
The building damage assessment is a very important task after a strong earthquake. For taking decisions about the building habitability and reparability it is necessary evaluate the building damage, but the expert professionals are insufficient, and therefore voluntary non-experts professionals must be including in the task. This personnel type displays the tendency to aggravate or to underestimate the real level of damage. This paper develops an expert system for post-earthquake evaluation of building damage, which supports the building damage evaluation by non-experts. It is based on the model considers the damage in structural and architectural elements as well as site seismic effects.

Earthquake Evaluation of the Non Structural Elements in a Thermal Power Plant
Non Structural elements such as mechanical, electrical and architectural elements always posses serious damage potentials during earthquakes. Degree of damage imposed by the non structural elements is not usually measured by the physical damages caused, but more so by the amount of the economical and functional disruptions created in a built environment. This phenomenon is enhanced where the fu...

Background and objective: Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural disasters. Earthquakes occur in urban areas, destroying buildings and injuring people living in them. Urban center buildings are among the features that are exposed to many hazards during an earthquake. One of the first measures taken after an earthquake is relief. Locating damaged buildings can speed up relief efforts....

Building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. It leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. Many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. In numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...

This study aims at quantifying the influence on the traversability of road network of road network caused by building collapse in earthquake. To this end, an analysis method on post-earthquake traversability of road network considering building collapse is proposed. First, the time-history analysis of seismic response based on the multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) model is performed for regional b...

Near field earthquakes have imposed major damage to buildings in the past years. In some cases, the intensity of such damage is too considerable to be disregarded. The most effective way to improve seismic performance of buildings is applying a seismic control technique. The cylindrical friction damper is one of these methods, which has become popular for its desirable performance in the energy...
