Abstract

FEMA-351, Recommended Seismic Evaluation and Upgrade Criteria for Existing Welded Steel Moment-Frame Buildings, offers two methods for estimating seismic losses in pre-Northridge WSMFs: detailed and rapid. The rapid method uses empirical relationships between seismic demand parameters and either damage levels or repair costs. The relationships are based on actual damage data collected after the 1994 Northridge earthquake. This paper summarizes the Northridge data, explains the FEMA-351 rapid method loss functions, and comments on the nature of the damage data and its application to loss estimation. Use of the loss functions can be enhanced by understanding their inherent assumptions and uncertainties and by considering how the underlying data was collected and interpreted in the years following the 1994 earthquake.
