2015 Nepal earthquake: seismic performance and reconstruction of stone masonry buildings

The catastrophic 7.7 magnitude earthquake that happened on 28 March in Myanmar has caused substantial damage, impacting people over a large area and causing significant loss of life across the region.

This talk will share the past humanitarian projects by Dr Miyamoto on the assessment, response and reconstruction following 2023 Turkiye and 2022 Afghanistan earthquakes.

This project investigates the application of remote sensing technologies within the specific operational context of emergency urban search and rescue (USAR) efforts post-disaster.

Following the 2020 earthquakes in Elazig and Izmir, Turkey, this EEFIT Resrech Grant 2022 winning project aims to construct comprehensive empirical fragility functions for reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame type structures and unreinforced masonry structures, from two damage datasets by employing statistical methods.

This EEFIT Research Grant Winner report integrates data-driven approaches and local perspectives to account for post-earthquake household relocation decision-making within an existing simulation-based framework for policy-related risk-sensitive decision support on future urban development.
