Quantification of loss and gain in performance using survey data: a study of earthquake-induced damage and restoration of residential buildings

Rupakhety, R.; Sigbjörnsson, R. - In: Natural Hazards 74 (2014) 3, pp. 1991-2004

This paper presents a method to assess and quantify changes in performance states of systems. The method is based on … survey data containing performance states graded in a suitable scale. The changes in performance states are modelled using an … association matrix obtained as a frequency table of measured performance states before and after an influential incident …

Uncertainty modeling of hurricane-based disruptions to interdependent economic and infrastructure systems

Resurreccion, Joanna; Santos, Joost - In: Natural Hazards 69 (2013) 3, pp. 1497-1518

Extreme risks associated with natural and man-made disasters involve disruptions to the production of goods or provision of services in interdependent systems. The reduced supply of goods and services will degrade “as-planned” production and create ripple effects. Hence, maintaining...
