  1. VULNERABILITY OF BUILDINGS TO EARTHQUAKE GROUND SHAKING GENERALIZED VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS BASED ON CHANGES IN A BUILDING’S ELEVATION AND FLOOR PLAN Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina, USA

  2. HAZARDS EXPOSURE VULNERABILITY LOCATION ELEMENTS OF RISK RISK

  3. BUILDING DAMAGE: DEATH TOLL REACHED 230,,000

  4. CAUSES OF DAMAGE INADEQUATE RESISTANCE TO HORIZONTAL GROUND SHAKING SOIL AMPLIFICATION PERMANENT DISPLACEMENT (SURFACE FAULTING & GROUND FAILURE) IRREGULARITIES IN ELEVATION AND PLAN EARTHQUAKES TSUNAMI WAVE RUNUP CASE HISTORIES LACK OF DETAILING AND POOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS LACK OF ATTENTION TO NON-STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

  5. GOAL: REGULARITY IN BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND SIMPLICITY IN FLOOR PLANS EFFECTIVE WHEN IMPLEMENTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH BUILDING REGULATIONS DURING THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PHASES --- NOT AS EFFECTIVE WHEN ADDED BY RETROFIT OR BY STRENGTHENING

  6. ANY COMMUNITY CAN ASSESS THE VULNERABILITY OF ITS BUILDINGS BY EXAMINING EACH BUILDING’S ELEVATION AND FLOOR PLAN • An Incremental Process CLARIFY VULNERABILTIES INDENTIFY OPTIONS IMPLEMENT BEST SOLUTION OPTIMIZE INITATE ACTIONS EVALUATE

  7. SOURCE OF INFORMATION • The following graphic assessments of building vulnerability to earthquake ground shaking were developed by an insurance company and provided to other organizations for educational uses.

  8. BUILDING ELEVATIONS • Horizontal and vertical changes in symmetry, mass, and stiffness—deviations from regularity--- will increase a building’s vulnerability to damage from ground shaking.

  9. AN IMPORTANT NOTE • NOTE: Analysis of the effects of changes in the local site geology and the construction materials, key parameters in controlling a building’s performance, are NOT considered here.

  10. ANALYSIS OF VULNERABILITY BUILDING ELEVATION LOCATIONS OF POTENTIAL FAILURE RELATIVE VULERABILITY [1 (Best) to 10 (Worst)] None, if attention given to foundation and non-structural elements. Rocking may crack foundation and structure. X-Cracks around windows. 1-2 Box

  11. DAMAGED HOUSE:CHINA

  12. ASYMmETRY and lateral changes: CHINA

  13. ANALYSIS OF VULNERABILITY BUILDING ELEVATION LOCATIONS OF POTENTIAL FAILURE RELATIVE VULERABILITY [1 (Best) to 10 (Worst)] None, if attention given to foundation and non structural elements. Rocking may crack foundation. 1 Pyramid

  27. BUILDING FLOOR PLANS • CHANGING FLOOR PLANS FROM SIMPLE TO COMPLEX AND FROM SYMMETRICAL TO ASYMMETRICAL WILL INCREASE A BUILDING’S VULNERABILITY TO GROUND SHAKING.

  28. ANALYSIS OF VULNERABILITY FLOOR PLAN POTENTIAL PROBLEMS RELATIVE VULERABILITY [1 (Best) to 10 (Worst)] None, if symmetrical layout maintained. 1 Box

  29. ANALYSIS OF VULNERABILITY FLOOR PLAN POTENTIAL PROBLEMS RELATIVE VULERABILITY [1 (Best) to 10 (Worst)] Differences in length and width will cause differences in strength, differential movement, and possible overturning. 2 - 4 Rectangle
