- Abstract
- A procedure for estimating the effects of a single, predefined, earthquake on a facility used by a high-technology industry has been developed. The procedure is capable of making four types of seismic damage predictions: building repair costs, equipment repair costs, length of business interruption, and total corporate financial losses. The component approach is used to make all four types of damage prediction.
