An indirect loss estimation methodology to account for regional earthquake damage to highway bridges
Keywords and Phrases
CGE model; Indirect economic loss
Abstract
"This study proposes an integrated framework to estimate the indirect economic loss due to damaged bridges within the highway system from an earthquake event. The framework is designed to be general and convenient to apply to other study regions. In this dissertation, a simulated earthquake scenario centered in St. Louis Missouri with a magnitude 7.0 was used as a case study. The research results have clearly shown that the indirect losses are significant when compared to the direct loss. Policymakers can apply this study framework and the results as a guide and decision tool for developing an appropriate preventive action plan to reduce the risk and potential losses before the earthquake occurs"--Abstract, page iii.
