2 Earthquakes are uncertain in size and time of occurrence, but not randomly located around the globe. In the picture the size of circles is proportional earthquake energy (i.e., magnitude). Milano, 7/11/2012 2

3 Losses are not following the same distribution of earthquakes U.S. : High-intensity earthquakes, low vulnerability of buildings, high value of goods = low casualties, large business loss. Southern Europe: Moderate intensity earthquakes, high vulnerability of buildings, high value of goods = large casualties, large business loss. Middle east: Moderate intensity earthquakes, high vulnerability of buildings, low value of goods = large casualties, low business loss. In the picture the size of circles is proportional to loss amount. Loss depends on earhtuquake intensity, damage susceptibility of built enviroment in the region affected, and value of goods and activities hosted by the damaged built enviroment. Milano, 7/11/2012 3

4 Nat-Cat loss trend Milano, 7/11/2012 4

5 Seismic Risk qualitative approach Seismic Risk Qualitative Approach Series of descriptions of the effects of the ground shaking on the basis of observed past earthquake in limited area Quantitative Approach This approach has very important positive factors such as: Insurance analysis process: - Risk identification by means of macro-seismic maps (e.g. Munich Re) - Loss Estimation based on damage factors and intensity levels - Loss Estimation refined including corrector coefficients for taking into account both soil and structure characteristics Based on real observation Available world wide It can provide average loss estimation in an area Easy to understand and communicate. Limitations Not really useful for Risk Managers who want to assess the risk of a specific industrial site. Milano, 7/11/2012 5

6 Seismic Risk General approaches Seismic Risk Qualitative Approach Quantitative Approach Risk factors are individually assessed according to the quantitative definition: Milano, 7/11/2012 6

7 Seismic Risk Nominal deficit (NODE) Seismic Risk Qualitative Approach Quantitative Approach NOminal DEficit based Based on the nominal deficit between the structural performance required by the seismic code at the time of construction (nominal capacity) and the structural performance required by the current seismic code (nominal demand). Fragility based Nominal Deficit Seismic Risk Index = N a (Demand Capacity) Seismic Demand imposed by the seismic code currently enforced (required structural performance) Seismic Demand imposed by the seismic code at the time of construction (required structural performance) Milano, 7/11/2012 7

17 Seismic risk general approaches Seismic risk Qualitative Approach Quantitative Approach Deficit analysis Deficit analysis is based on the nominal deficit evaluation between the structural performance required by the seismic code at the time of construction (nominal capacity) and the structural performance required by the current seismic code (nominal demand). Fragility analysis Fragility analysis is widely used in the seismic risk management for seismic loss estimation and is based on the definition of fragility functions. S d (T) current S d (T) design Milano, 7/11/

18 Seismic risk general approaches What s a fragility function? Probability that a component, element or system reaches or exceeds a predefined damage state at a given ground motion intensity Methodologies: Empirical, based on statistics of observed damage from past earthquake Expert opinion, depend on judgment and information of expert Analytical, derived from computational analyses using finite element methodology Fragility analysis (analytical) 1. Based on specific structure model 2. Based on representative types of structures model Milano, 7/11/

19 Probabilità di superamento in 50 anni Seismic Risk - Fragility analysis INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS ASSESSMENT: 1 PGA Fragility curve for manufacturing building Accelerazione [m/s^2] T=0.5 T=1 T=3 T=4 Hazard curve for Sulmona (AQ) site (probabilistic distribution of peak acceleration) Fragility curve for utility building STEPS FOR THE ASSESSMENT: 1. Evaluation of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard for the site; 2. Evaluation of seismic fragility for each building; Officina Utilities Fragility curve for tank 3. Combination of fragility and hazard for each single structure and determination of probability of failure; Tank 4.

26 Case study application Fragility analysis for specific structure Foundamental steps: 1) Identification of structures : structural typologies; 2) Knowledge of buildings : study of all the as built drawings and available documents; 3) Modeling of structures: finite element model and analytical models; 4) Seismic analysis : Linear and Non-linear analysis; PROS: Very good results taylored for specific structure/facility Can account (in principle) for all type of losses including BI and supply chain interruption; Provide the best tool for decision making; i.e., probability of financial loss 5) Extraction of the results; 6) Fragility functions estimation CONS: Requires detailed (site specific) modeling of seismic hazard; Requires detailed modeling of structural performance for computer simulation; Requires fine loss estimation induced by earthquakes; For all the reasons above it is very costly. Milano, 7/11/

27 Seismic risk general approaches Seismic Risk Qualitative Approach Quantitative Approach Nominal Deficit analysis Fragility analysis 1. based on specific structure models 2. based on representative types of structures models Fragility functions are developed using analytical methods for the assessment of representative types of structures (prototypes).
