Database of low-rise reinforced concrete buildings with earthquake damage

This database contains building information of 616 low-rise reinforced concrete buildings with earthquake damage collected during seismic vulnerability assessment from 6 different earthquakes (Erzincan 1992, Duzce 1999, Bingol 2003, Peru 2007, Wenchuan 2008, and Haiti 2010). With a goal to evaluate the Priority Index proposed by Hassan and Sozen (1997), the reconnaissance team from 6 different earthquakes collected a total number of 7,044 photographs of 616 structures which were constructed with reinforced concrete or concrete masonry units.   This database is presented as a spreadsheet with each row containing the following information of a building: Title: Title of the project, group of experiments, simulations or surveys Source: Names of the people who generated the data Keywords: Words describing the dataset, which can be used for searching Report(s): Related documentation Experiment or Case ID: ID assigned by the source to the sample, specimen, case, survey, site, experiment or simulation Latitude: Latitude of the location where data was collected, if applicable Longitude: Longitude of the location where data was collected, if applicable Parameters: Variables and parameters chosen by the researcher, compiler, professional or scientific organization to describe the data Drawings/Diagrams: Drawing and diagram files needed to interpret the data Data: Data files generated through project. Tabular text format is preferred (e.g., *.txt, *.csv). It is recommended that data files are organized in columns with each column having a descriptive header (e.g., sensor ID and unit) Photos, Videos, etc.: Media files including photos, videos, audio generated through project Compiled by: Names of the people who compiled the data Date: Date when the dataset was compiled. (format: yyyy-mm-dd)   In addition, the following are the information presented in the parameter column: Event Building ID Priority Index (Hassan Index, %): PI = WI + CI (where, WI = Wall Index, CI = Column Index) No. of Floors 1st Floor Area (m^2) Total Floor Area (m^2) Column Area (m^2) Concrete Wall Area (NS) (m^2): Data from Wenchuan collected as y-direction are assumed to be North-South direction Concrete Wall Area (EW) (m^2): Data from Wenchuan collected as x-direction are assumed to be East-West direction Masonry Wall Area (NS) (m^2): Data from Wenchuan collected as y-direction are assumed to be North-South direction Masonry Wall Area (EW) (m^2): Data from Wenchuan collected as x-direct
