Earthquake Disaster Simulation System: Integration of Models for Building Collapse, Road Blockage, and Fire Spread

Various property-damage estimation models have been created on the basis of damage observation data obtained in the aftermath of large earthquakes. In this paper, these independent models are integrated to establish a city-damage simulation model. In addition, two new fire-spread indices are propose...

Description
Summary:Various property-damage estimation models have been created on the basis of damage observation data obtained in the aftermath of large earthquakes. In this paper, these independent models are integrated to establish a city-damage simulation model. In addition, two new fire-spread indices are proposed from the viewpoint of firefighting and refuge.
