    Development of a fragility model for the residential building stock in South America
    (EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING RESEARCH INST, 2017-05-01) Villar-Vega, Mabe; Silva, Vitor; Crowley, Helen; Yepes, Catalina; Tarque, Nicola; Acevedo, Ana Beatriz; Hube, Matias A.; Gustavo, Coronel D.; Maria, Hernan Santa; Mecánica Aplicada
    South America-in particular, the Andean countries-are exposed to high levels of seismic hazard, which, when combined with the elevated concentration of population and properties, has led to an alarming potential for human and economic losses. Although several fragility models have been developed in recent decades for South America, and occasionally used in probabilistic risk analysis, these models have been developed using distinct methodologies and assumptions, which renders any direct comparison of the results across countries questionable, and thus application at a regional level unreliable. This publication aims at obtaining a uniform fragility model for the most representative building classes in the Andean region, for large-scale risk analysis. To this end, sets of single-degree-of-freedom oscillators were created and subjected to a series of ground motion records using nonlinear time history analyses, and the resulting damage distributions were used to derive sets of fragility functions. © 2017, Earthquake Engineering Research Institute.

    Seismic risk assessment for the residential buildings of the major three cities in Colombia: Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali
    (EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING RESEARCH INST, 2020-01-01) Acevedo A.B.; Yepes-Estrada C.; González D.; Silva V.; Mora M.; Arcila M.; Posada G.; Acevedo A.B.; Yepes-Estrada C.; González D.; Silva V.; Mora M.; Arcila M.; Posada G.; Universidad EAFIT.

    This study presents a seismic risk assessment and a set of earthquake scenarios for the residential building stock of the three largest metropolitan centers of Colombia: Bogotá, Medellín and Cali (with 8.0, 2.5, and 2.4 million inhabitants, respectively). A uniform methodology was followed for the development of the seismic hazard, vulnerability, and exposure models, thus allowing a direct comparison between the seismic risk of the different cities. Risk metrics such as exceedance probability curves and average annual losses were computed for each city. The earthquake scenarios were selected considering events whose direct economic impact is similar to the aggregated loss for a probability of exceedance of 10% in 50 years. Results show a higher mean aggregate loss ratio for Cali and similar mean aggregate loss ratios for Bogotá and Medellín. All of the models used in this study are openly accessible, enabling risk modelers, engineers, and stakeholders to explore them for disaster risk management. © The Author(s) 2020.
