Proposal for Disaster Preventive Applications using Damage Estimation System of Structures during Earthquakes

Abstract

Damage estimation system of structures during earthquakes was developed. This system measures deformation of a structure by a camera and delivers the damage level to building managers. Immediacy, understandability and efficiency of this system are valuable at emergent recovery. Although the difficulty of the spread of disaster preventive applications lies in utilizing less frequently, the uses of this system are proposed through not only emergency recovery but also recovery, reconstruction, normal times, and a normalization of applications leads to the growing of disaster preventive abilities.
