Building structural damage

Building structural damage#

Description

This analysis computes building structural damage based on a particular hazard. Currently supported hazards are: earthquake, tsunami, tornado, hurricane and flood.

The process for computing the structural damage is similar to other parts of the built environment. First, a fragility is obtained based on the hazard type and attributes of the building. Based on the fragility, the hazard intensity at the location of the building is computed. Using this information, the probability of exceeding each limit state is computed, along with the probability of damage. For the case of an earthquake hazard, soil information can be used to modify the damage probabilities to include damage due to liquefaction.

The outputs of this analysis are CSV file with probabilities of damage and JSON file with information about hazard and fragilities.

Execution

code snippet:

    # Create building structural damage
    bldg_dmg = BuildingStructuralDamage(client)

    # Load input dataset
    bldg_dmg.load_remote_input_dataset("buildings", bldg_dataset_id)

    # Load fragility mapping
    fragility_service = FragilityService(client)
    mapping_set = MappingSet(fragility_service.get_mapping(mapping_id))
    bldg_dmg.set_input_dataset('dfr3_mapping_set', mapping_set)

    # Specify the result name
    result_name = "memphis_bldg_dmg_result"

    # Set analysis parameters
    bldg_dmg.set_parameter("result_name", result_name)
    bldg_dmg.set_parameter("hazard_type", hazard_type)
    bldg_dmg.set_parameter("hazard_id", hazard_id)
    bldg_dmg.set_parameter("num_cpu", 10)

    # Run building structural damage analysis
