Seismic Risk Communication Technique for Individuals Supported by Structural Health Monitoring of Detached House

Abstract eng:
This paper proposes a risk communication system monitoring structural capacity of individual house and running with diagnosis of safety for inhabitants. First, we try to directly regress the structural scores concerning earthquake-resistant performance from the microtremors of detached houses. Second, we discuss the damage index function by which damage state of individual housing can be estimated for presumable seismic input motions, and propose the method for deducing the functions with structural scores measured from the microtremors of house. In the final step, we propose a bland new diagnosis method of human casualties in seismic damage houses by means of combining the damage index function of building with the death rate function of inhabitants. By systematizing the above processes we can provide the inhabitants with the informative system monitoring the seismic risk under their dwelling circumstances.
