A Genetic Algorithm for the Classification of Earthquake Damages in Buildings
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper an efficient classification system in the area of earthquake engineering is reported. The proposed method uses a set of artificial accelerograms to examine several types of damages in specific structures. With the use of seismic accelerograms, a set of twenty seismic parameters have been extracted to describe earthquakes. Previous studies based on artificial neural networks and neuro-fuzzy classification systems present satisfactory classification results in different types of earthquake damages. In this approach a genetic algorithm (GA) was used to find the optimal feature subset of the seismic parameters that minimizes the computational cost and maximizes the classification performance. Experimental results indicate that the use of the GA was able to classify the structural damages with classification rates up to 92%.

Determining the extent of building destruction after an earthquake using satellite imagery and fuzzy logic (Case study of Sarpol-e-Zahab region)
Background and objective: Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural disasters. Earthquakes occur in urban areas, destroying buildings and injuring people living in them. Urban center buildings are among the features that are exposed to many hazards during an earthquake. One of the first measures taken after an earthquake is relief. Locating damaged buildings can speed up relief efforts....

Background and objective: Estimating the vulnerability rate of urban textures in seismic incident following a major earthquake (aftershocks) is crucial in decision making and crisis management. For this purpose, it is necessary to calculate the vulnerability of buildings due to the successive incidents and to use them in the vulnerability estimation for probable future aftershocks. Seismic frag...

Background and Objectives: Earthquake can be the source of many secondary disasters. Fire is one of the most important secondary hazards after the earthquake. In some cases, post-earthquake fires, in urban areas, may cause far more severe damages than the earthquake itself. After the earthquake, the risk of fire is greatly increased due to the existence of sources of fire, such as arteries of g...
