Machine Learning for Damage Classification, Risk Mitigation and Post-earthquake Management
In recent years, we have witnessed a steady increase in the amount of data collected and made available to the scientific community. Simultaneously, Artificial Intelligence (AI) shows great potential in transforming data to knowledge offering increasingly more accurate tools to analyze, interpret and extract information from the data. In this context, data-driven approaches, in the fields of seismology, geophysics, and earthquake engineering show enormous promise. In this work a Machine Learning (ML) study is presented, based on a dataset containing around 3000 buildings damaged by the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake. This event was the first in a series of strong earthquakes that hit central Italy, resulting in many casualties, and having enormous economic and social impact. Each building in the dataset is described by 22 characteristics. Among them the damage level, divided, into six classes, from D0, corresponding to no damage, to D5, corresponding to heavy damage or collapse. We employ a Random Forest based algorithm to predict the level of damage accounting for different combinations of damage levels. As a case study we consider the following binary target variables-D0-D1-D2-D3 (no to medium damage) and D4-D5 (serious to heavy damage)-D0-D1 (no to light damage) and D2-D3-D4-D5 (moderate to heavy damage)-D0-D1-D02 (light to moderate damage) and D3-D4-D5 (medium to heavy damage).
