According to HAZUS-MH MR4, very little has been done in the area of estimating debris from earthquakes. HAZUS adopts an empirical approach to estimate two different types of debris. The first is debris that falls in large pieces, such as steel members or reinforced concrete elements. These require special treatment to break into smaller pieces before they are hauled away. The second type of debris is smaller and more easily moved with bulldozers and other machinery and tools. This includes brick, wood, glass, building contents and other materials. Given the damage states for structural and nonstructural components, debris estimates are based on observations of damage that has occurred in past earthquakes. No debris estimates are made for bridges or other lifelines. (Based upon the HAZUS-MH MR4 Technical User’s Manual: Earthquake Model. For further information, refer to the manual.) |
