Impact function based on Padang 2009 post earthquake survey

This impact function estimates percentual damage to buildings as a function of ground shaking measured in MMI. Buildings are assumed to fall the 9 classes below as described in the Geoscience Australia/ITB 2009 Padang earthquake survey (http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/38470066).

Class Building Type Median (MMI) Beta (MMI)

1 URM with river rock walls 7.5 0.11 2 URM with Metal Roof 8.3 0.1 3 Timber frame with masonry in-fill 8.8 0.11 4 RC medium rise Frame with Masonry in-fill walls 8.4 0.05 5 Timber frame with stucco in-fill 9.2 0.11 6 Concrete Shear wall high rise* Hazus C2H 9.7 0.15 7 RC low rise Frame with Masonry in-fill walls 9 0.08 8 Confined Masonry 8.9 0.07 9 Timber frame residential 10.5 0.15
