Using rapid damage observations from social media for Bayesian updating of hurricane vulnerability functions: A case study of Hurricane Dorian Open

Jens de Bruijn, James Daniell, Antonios Pomonis, Rashmin Gunasekera, Joshua Macabuag , et al. · 2020

Rapid impact assessments immediately after disasters are crucial to enable rapid and effective mobilization of resources for response and recovery efforts. These assessments are often performed by analysing the three components of risk: ha…

Lessons Learnt From the 2009 Padang Indonesia, 2011 Tōhoku Japan and 2016 Muisne Ecuador Earthquakes Open

Siau Chen Chian, Sean Wilkinson, J. K. Whittle, Rini Mulyani, J. E. Alarcon , et al. · 2019

This paper presents the observations during the UK Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT)'s post-earthquake reconnaissance missions to the September 20, 2009 Padang (Mw7.6), March 11, 2011 Tōhoku (Mw9.0) and April 16, 2016…

Tsunami design procedures for engineered buildings: a critical review Open

Joshua Macabuag, Alison Raby, Antonios Pomonis, Ioan Nistor, Sean Wilkinson , et al. · 2018

Tsunamis have the potential to cause enormous loss of life and socio-economic impacts on coastal communities. Central to tsunami risk mitigation is the protection of critical infrastructure and evacuation-designated buildings, which are of…

Investigation of the Effect of Debris-Induced Damage for Constructing Tsunami Fragility Curves for Buildings Open

Joshua Macabuag, Tiziana Rossetto, Ioanna Ioannou, I. Eames · 2018

Catastrophe models quantify potential losses from disasters, and are used in the insurance, disaster-risk management, and engineering industries. Tsunami fragility and vulnerability curves are key components of catastrophe models, providin…

Advances in the Assessment of Buildings Subjected to Earthquakes and Tsunami Open

Tiziana Rossetto, Crescenzo Petrone, I. Eames, Camilo De la Barra, A.S.J. Foster , et al. · 2018

Currently, 8 out of the 10 most populous megacities in the world are vulnerable to severe earthquake damage, while 6 out of 10 are at risk of being severely affected by tsunami. To mitigate ground shaking and tsunami risks for coastal comm…

Estimating Tsunami-Induced Building Damage through Fragility Functions: Critical Review and Research Needs Open

Ingrid Charvet, Joshua Macabuag, Tiziana Rossetto · 2017

Tsunami damage, fragility, and vulnerability functions are statistical models that provide an estimate of expected damage or losses due to tsunami. They allow for quantification of risk, and so are a vital component of catastrophe models u…

A proposed methodology for deriving tsunami fragility functions for buildings using optimum intensity measures Open

Joshua Macabuag, Tiziana Rossetto, Ioanna Ioannou, Anawat Suppasri, Daisuke Sugawara , et al. · 2016

Tsunami fragility curves are statistical models which form a key component of tsunami risk models, as they provide a probabilistic link between a tsunami intensity measure (TIM) and building damage. Existing studies apply different TIMs (e…

Implications of the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami on sea defence design Open

Alison Raby, Joshua Macabuag, Antonios Pomonis, Sean Wilkinson, Tiziana Rossetto · 2015

After the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, much of the world's effort to defend against tsunami concentrated on tsunami warning and evacuation. The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami led to direct and indirect losses as well as the death…
