- Abstract
- The report provides improved damage-motion relationships that can be used in regional earthquake damage and loss studies. Three main areas for modification of the existing ATC-13 damage probability matrices were investigated. The first was to develop detalied descriptions of the original 40 building classes defined in ATC-13. The second approach for modifying the motion damage relationships was through collecting existing data. The third modification considered the development of fragility formulations based on the information from the ATC-13 damage probability matrices. Then a lognromal function was fitted through the fragility curve to enable easy implementation of these fragility curves.
