A Scalable Framework for Assessing Seismic Resilience of Communities
Publication: Structures Congress 2019: Blast, Impact Loading, and Research and Education
ABSTRACT
Assessment of the seismic resilience of communities requires modeling the interactions that take place between the multiple systems of society, including engineering, economic, social, financial, environmental, political, and others. The complex interdependencies that arise between these systems is challenging to model because of the multi-disciplinary nature of the problem and range of temporal and spatial scales involved. With this motivation, a fully scalable and adaptable framework is developed for modeling the seismic resilience of communities. The framework includes different simulators, each of which represents various aspects of the problem, such as city layout, regional seismic ground motion, structural response, structural and non-structural damage, and loss assessment. Each simulator is considered as a black box that takes inputs from other simulators and provide outputs in a specific format to be used by other simulators. The proposed framework is demonstrated through a case study that is focused on modeling the resilience of an archetype community facing a seismic hazard.
