    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.

    Development of a global seismic risk model

    Since 2015, the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation and its partners have been supporting regional programs and bilateral collaborations to develop an open global earthquake risk model. These efforts led to the development of a repository of probabilistic seismic hazard models, a global exposure dataset comprising structural and occupancy information regarding the residential, commercial and industrial buildings, and a comprehensive set of fragility and vulnerability functions for the most common building classes. These components were used to estimate probabilistic earthquake risk globally using the OpenQuake-engine, an open-source software for seismic hazard and risk analysis. This model allows estimating a number of risk metrics such as annualized average losses or aggregated losses for particular return periods, which are fundamental to the development and implementation of earthquake risk mitigation measures. © The Author(s) 2020.

    Evaluation of wavelet measures on automatic detection of emotion in noisy and telephony speech signals
    (IEEE, 2014-01-01) Vasquez-Correa, J. C.; Garcia, N.; Vargas-Bonilla, J. F.; Orozco-Arroyave, J. R.; Arias-Londono, J. D.; Lucia Quintero M, O.; Vasquez-Correa, J. C.; Garcia, N.; Vargas-Bonilla, J. F.; Orozco-Arroyave, J. R.; Arias-Londono, J. D.; Lucia Quintero M, O.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Modelado Matemático
    Detection of emotion in humans from speech signals is a recent research field. One of the scenarios where this field has been applied is in situations where the human integrity and security are at risk. In this paper we are propossing a set of features based on the Teager energy operator, and several entropy measures obtained from the decomposition signals from discrete wavelet transform to characterize different types of negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, disgust, and desperation. The features are measured in three different conditions: (1) the original speech signals, (2) the signals that are contaminated with noise, or are affected by the presence of a phone channel, and (3) the signals that are obtained after processing using an algorithm for Speech Enhancement based on Karhunen-Love Transform. According to the results, when the speech enhancement is applied, the detection of emotion in speech is increased in up to 22% compared to results obtained when the speech signal is highly contaminated with noise. © 2014 IEEE.

    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.

    A taxonomy for product shape analysis to integrate in early environmental impact estimations
    (Springer-Verlag France, 2017-05-01) Agudelo, L.-M.; Nadeau, J.-P.; Pailhes, J.; Mejía-Gutiérrez, R.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Diseño; Ingeniería de Diseño (GRID)
    Eco design and sustainable design are words with increasing relevance in the development of new products. One of the main reasons is the growing worry about the environmental issues that the planet is having nowadays, hence the demand for products with this aspect included. Now designers have the opportunity to adapt useful tools to estimate the environmental impact of a design concept in order to develop environmentally friendly products. However, it is only in the last stages of design process where design teams have enough information to calculate the impact of a proposal. This calculation is a tedious, expensive and demanding activity and involving a high level of knowledge about materials, manufacturing processes and eco-design strategies. For this reason, environmental impact estimations gain relevance in the early stages of the design process, where more risks can be taken with a lower cost. This article suggests a taxonomy to analyze product’s shape; in order to offer a structured and systematic way of performing a morphology classification, being able to integrate this subjective aspect to other necessary variables needed to estimate the environmental impact. It offers a way to understand how shape, material and Manufacturing process are key aspects to make environmental impact estimations of preliminary concepts during the Conceptual Design. © 2016, The Author(s).
