Resumen

Early disaster responses in damaged areas after a large earthquake are indispensable for stakeholders to assess and grasp the impacts such as building and infrastructure damage and disrupted community functionality as soon as possible. This study introduces a quick estimation model for mapping seismic intensities and building losses in Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia. The model uses ground motion records in the seismic network, soil maps of average shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 m (Vs30) with site amplifications, building inventory, and vulnerability functions for all building types. The spatial distribution of ground motion intensities, including spectral accelerations, was estimated by interpolating the observed seismic intensities with the Vs30-based site amplifications. The losses (repair cost) for all the buildings were evaluated by integrating the estimated spectral accelerations, the building inventory, and the vulnerability functions. The spatial distributions of seismic intensities and building losses can be computed within a few minutes immediately after triggering earthquake motions in the seismic network. The proposed model demonstrates evaluations of the impacts for the Mw6.0 earthquake that occurred on December 2019 and an earthquake scenario with Mw7.0 from an active fault near the Bogotá region.
