This project, funded by the Swiss National Fund, focuses on the effective management of earthquake risks using condition indicators. The interdisciplinary research group from the Institute of Structural Engineering aims to improve decision-making before, during, and after earthquakes, including optimal allocation of resources for risk reduction, emergency help and rescue, and rehabilitation of infrastructure functionality. The project utilizes Bayesian decision theory and probabilistic networks to quantify risks and model various factors such as soil behavior, structural dynamics, and consequences.

Risk Assessment Framework Exposure Vulnerability Risk reduction measures Indicators Robustness
Decision Theoretical Framework Variable B Variable A Variable C Consequ- ences Decision The overall theoretical framework is the Bayesian decision theory. Risks will be quantified using Bayesian Probabilistic Networks (BPN). • Causal interrelations of events leading to events of interest are graphically shown in terms of nodes connected by arrows. • A probability structure describing the conditional state probabilities for each node is assigned. • Consequences corresponding to the events in the BPN are assigned.

Summary and Conclusions • A systematic approach is suggested by formulating decision problems for three cases in terms of characteristic descriptors (condition indicators), which can be observed and/or measured. • The Bayesian decision theory provides the mathematical framework for the consistent treatment of uncertainties and consequences. • Bayesian Probabilistic Networks are utilized for the consistent consideration of causal dependencies and uncertainties prevailing the identified decision problem. • The modular approach enables the utilisation of different models with varying levels of details.
