Statistical Analysis of Japanese Structural Damage Data

Abstract

This report covers the data base compilation phase and statistical analysis phase of an effort to reexamine the structural damage to buildings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki and at the Nevada and Pacific Test Sites. The primary emphasis in the efforts was to establish whether collateral damage versus intended damage oriented considerations affected the estimation of the key parameters of the probability of damage versus distance to the ground zero relationships.
