Estimating the Damage of Earthquake Using RADIUS Model (Case Study: Tehran)
By its specific geographical and climate conditions, Iran benefits from high environmental and climate variability. Besides abundant relative advantages, this variety has increased the potential of different natural risks. Earthquake, as one of the most significant geotechnical risks, threatens most regions throughout Iranian Plateau. The importance of earthquake risk in Iran has been increased by the increased development of cities and the concentration of population. Tehran, as the most important city based on its population, economic and social infrastructures, and because it has been surrounded by several active faults as well as located on some active ones, exposed to high risk against earthquake risk. In this case, one of the requirements of urban management in Tehran is studying the seismic risks of this town as well as estimating its probable damages. For this reason, region 3 of district 1 of Tehran municipality having many old textures than other districts have been chosen as a region of study. The methodology of this study, data collection, and analysis are conducted by methods based on database benefiting from RADIUS Program, and there have been considered two scenarios based on both faults in the North Tehran as an origin for estimating the risks from the probable earthquake in the region. Results indicate that maximum risk might be considered in the scenario of fault located in North Tehran.
