Database of Damage Caused by Earthquakes in Puebla City, Mexico

Publication: Forensic Engineering 2022

ABSTRACT

Puebla City has been affected by earthquakes, producing damage to the infrastructure. Despite this recurring experience, to date there is no reliable record of damage caused by each earthquake. A damage database is a necessary tool to determine the most seismically vulnerable areas in Puebla City. It will help to evaluate and identify the zones historically more affected. Based on the fact that seismic activity is recurrent, soil ground conditions are relatively constant in the long term, and infrastructure has low level of change in the city between events, the damage database can be developed. By creating a simple model of empirical damage prediction, the intent is to determine the most vulnerable areas in a future seismic event. This paper seeks to show the patterns of damage in buildings on Puebla City and its most vulnerable zones using damage data information and tools like GIS and statistics.
