System and method for earthquake risk mitagtion in building structures

Abstract

A method for seismic loss assessment including receiving by a computer system computer-readable input data regarding a seismic hazard and building conditions, generating by the computer system one or more mitigation options and for each of the mitigation options, configuring the computer system to: determine a structural response, determine damage states from the structural response, determine an outcome of each of the damage states; and, output a representation of each of the outcomes for each of the damage states. The output is used in a seismic risk mitigation plan and/or design for one or more building structures.
