RISLinking Building Attributes and Tornado Vulnerability Using a Logistic Regression Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The residential building stock in the United States suffers a disproportionately large amount of tornado damage, which is linked to vulnerability of the building and its components. Whereas the building stock exhibits a ...
Epistemic Uncertainties in Fragility Functions Derived from Post-Disaster Damage Assessments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fragility functions define the probability of meeting or exceeding some damage measure (DM) for a given level of engineering demand (e.g., base shear) or hazard intensity measure (IM; e.g., wind speed, and peak ...
