- Abstract
- The REDARS 2 report provides the basic framework and a demonstration application of the Seismic Risk Analysis (SRA) methodology and its modules. It also describes results from six years of work to update the methodology, program this methodology into a public-domain software package, and to test and document this software. The main modules of the REDARS 2 SRA methodology include hazards, components, system and economic. The northern Los Angeles, California, highway system is used as a demonstration application of the SRA methodology. Eleven appendices are provided at the end of the report. References, tables and figures supplement the text as well.
