    Damage Statistics for High-Rise Buildings in the Vicinity of the San Fernando Earthquake. Optimum Seismic Protection and Building Damage Statistics, Report No. 7

    Building characteristics and earthquake damage are documented for approximately 370 high-rise buildings shaken by the San Fernando earthquake of 9 February 1971. The resulting data are organized into damage probability matrices, showing the relationships among earthquake resistance, intensity of ground shaking and damage. Results are given separately for steel and concrete buildings, and damage to the various structural and non-structural components is described separately. The difficult process of collecting these data is explained, and suggestions are made for similar efforts during future earthquakes.
