ABSTRACT

The present study proposes a statistical methodology to rate the habitability of different types of buildings after an earthquake. The first step was to rank variables that affect the vulnerability of a building and formulate a statistical study with a discrimination index that makes it possible to identify buildings as habitable or non-habitable. This ranking applied the criteria established in various international guidelines that are used to distinguish between habitable (undamaged/no structural damage) and non-habitable buildings (structural damage). The proposed methodology was applied to a database with information about buildings and damage grade experienced following the 2011 earthquake in Lorca. The approach presented could be extended to other regions where neccessary data are available.

摘要

本研究提出了一种统计方法来评估地震后不同类型建筑物的可居住性。第一步是对影响建筑物脆弱性的变量进行排名，并制定具有区分指数的统计研究，以便将建筑物识别为可居住或不可居住。该排名采用了各种国际准则中建立的标准，这些准则用于区分可居住（未损坏/无结构损坏）和不可居住建筑（结构损坏）。所提出的方法应用于一个数据库，该数据库包含有关 2011 年洛尔卡地震后所经历的建筑物和损坏等级的信息。所提出的方法可以扩展到其他有必要数据的地区。
