Damage Assessment Jouenal

 Damage assessment of individuals, property, and environment, and timely allocation of resources to communities of greatest need, and is paramount for evacuations and disaster relief. Remote sensing is capable of collecting massive amounts of dynamic and geographically distributed spatiotemporal data daily, and thus often used for disaster assessment. However, despite the amount of huge data available, gaps are often present because of the precise limitations of the instruments or their carrier platforms. Several studies (Schnebele and Cervone, 2013; Schnebele et al., 2014, 2015), have shown how crowdsourced data are often wont to augment traditional remote sensing data and methods to estimate flood extent and identify affected roads during a flood disaster. In these works, a spread of nonauthoritative, multisourced data, like Tweets, geolocated photos from the Google computer program, traffic data from cameras, OpenStreetMap, videos from YouTube, and news, are collected during a transportation infrastructure assessment construct an estimate of the extent of the flood event.   The damage assessment of monumental buildings after several seismic events in numerous countries has systematically highlighted the vulnerability of cultural heritage, particularly churches. so as to scale back their vulnerability with compatible and light-weight interventions, it's necessary to own accurate procedures geared toward guaranteeing an appropriate level of risk for the occupants and for the conservation of the monument itself. This chapter outlines a performance-based assessment procedure for masonry churches that permits the definition of fragility curves, ranging from the evaluation of the nonlinear response of every macroelement, after the estimation of the seismic actions distribution with a linear analysis allotted on a finite element model of the entire church. for example the procedure, the chapter describes its application to the Abbey of San Clemente in Castiglione a Casauria (Pescara, Italy), a vital monument hit by the L’Aquila earthquake, 2009, and restored in 2011.
