IMPLAN, which stands for “impact analysis for planning,” is a regional economic analysis software initially developed in the 1970 s through the collaboration between the United States Forest Service (USFS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Since then it has been applied widely ...
The Expected Annual Loss (EAL) of a number of RC frame buildings, pre- and post-rehabilitation, is evaluated, following the time-based assessment approach proposed in the FEMA P-58 guidelines. The break-even time of each retrofit intervention is then computed, considering the initial cost of ...
A multi-scale (building-specific and portfolio) cost-benefit analysis of the Los Angeles soft-story Ordinance for woodframe residential buildings is presented. Building-specific loss functions (shaking intensity versus loss ratio) are computed by implementing the FEMA P-58 seismic loss assessment ...
This is why a number of actors are involved in a benefit-costs analysis. Research in economic efficiency has been scarce. Notable studies are FEMA [1], which includes a database on seismic retrofit measures, and research from other countries, such as Germany, which have related databases on ...
