Returning Buildings Damaged by Hurricanes or Earthquakes to Pre-Damage Condition
In this age of high technology, the expert consultant usually must state an opinion on what must be done to a building damaged by an earthquake or hurricane to bring it back to its pre-earthquake or pre-hurricane condition. This paper presents an approach for defining the pre-earthquake of pre-hurricane condition of the building in terms of the estimated expected damage to a natural hazard event. With this definition, it is possible to then determine what is required to return the building to its current post-event condition to that same level of expected damage, i.e., its pre-event condition.
