    The document describes a database created to catalog over 25,000 structures damaged or undamaged by the 2013 M7.2 Bohol earthquake in the Philippines. The database describes each structure's materials, use, height, occupancy, location, construction era, and damage. Seismic fragility functions were also developed to relate earthquake damage to ground motion. The database will help identify risk factors and inform more resilient building standards. Wood structures appeared most resilient while older and rural buildings sustained more damage.

    TOWARDS EARTHQUAKE-RESILIENT
    BUILDINGS: EXPOSURE/DAMAGE DATABASE
    FOR THE 2013 BOHOL PHILIPPINES
    EARTHQUAKE
     A comprehensive database featuring both damaged and
    undamaged structures related to the M7.2 Bohol Philippines
    earthquake is assembled. It accounts for over 25,000 buildings
    located at various earthquake intensity levels, in urban and rural
    areas.

     Each structure in selected sites is described based on


    • Structural materials
    Introduction • Building use
    • Height
    • Occupancy
    • Site morphology
    • Construction era
    • Damage sustained during the event
     Seismic fragility functions represent the relationship between
    earthquake damage and a ground motion parameter following
    either one or a combination of these approaches:

    • empirical analysis based on statistical evaluation of post


    earthquake damage data
    • analytical analysis using numerical simulations of structural models
    • heuristic analysis based on engineering judgement and expertise
    Introduction  Study specifically explores the risk factors that have played key roles
    (Cont.d) in the outcome of the M7.2 Bohol Philippines earthquake. The Bohol
    earthquake has the essential ingredients required in furnishing a
    meaningful seismic risk assessment, a step towards building
    earthquake-resilient structures

     The Exposure/Damage Database for Bohol Earthquake

    • Post-event Survey
    • Building Typology
    • Site Selection
     Study highlights

    • The key role of empirical data in validating


    building fragility
    • Vulnerability models for improved seismic
    regulations

    Problem • Credible impact forecasts

    Statement
    Fostering resilience against earthquakes necessitates proper
    evaluation of building performance. The core elements at risk
    whenever a huge earthquake occurs are the people and the
    buildings. While an exposure database describes these elements
    at risk before an earthquake happens, the damage database

    Significance provides an inventory of damage incurred during the event. In this


    study, a comprehensive database featuring both damaged and

    &
    undamaged structures related to the M7.2 Bohol Philippines
    earthquake is assembled

    Discussion
    An exposure/damage database has been assembled to account for the
    observed structural damage due to the M7.2 Bohol Philippines
    earthquake. Prevalent building classes that emerge from this database
    include wood (W1), confined masonry (C1), concrete hollow blocks (CHB)
    and low masonry skirt walls with wood (MWS). These include low-rise
    buildings sampled in both urban and rural settings at various construction
    vintages. Furthermore, the dataset features four well-represented damage
    states with good variation of intensity spanning from VI to IX.

    For the earthquake performance of structures, W1 seems to be the most

    Conclusion resilient building type among the four types evaluated in this study. W1
    returns lower likelihood of exceeding the damage thresholds. The
    proportion of damaged buildings is less for modern buildings than the old
    ones, perhaps reflecting an improvement in seismic code over time. Also,
    structures in urban areas seem to perform much better than rural
    structures, probably due to the variation in construction practices.
    For future undertakings, the vulnerability curves corresponding to
    selected building types can be validated. Information on costs of repair
    and reconstruction costs sourced from local engineers and contractors can
    constrain and update these vulnerability models.
