Abstract

  • Porter (2009) showed how to tabulate Hazus' seismic vulnerability functions for nonfatal injuries and deaths in terms of common, structure-independent, ground-motion measures. This file offers that tabulation. It gives the fraction of occupants in each of four Hazus injury severity levels Inj1 (injuries requiring basic medical attention) to Inj4 (fatal). See the Hazus-MH earthquake technical manual (Federal Emergency Management Agency 2020) Table 12-1 for descriptions of the four injury severity levels. The file expresses vulnerabiity functions for each of 128 combinations of Hazus model buildings type, height class, and code era, and four injury severity levels (Inj1, Inj2, Inj3, and Inj4) at each of 300 values of 5% damped spectral acceleration response at 1 sec period, denoted here by SA10. These values are SA10 = 0.01g, 0.02g, ... 3.00g.
