Estimation of Regional Attenuation Relationship and Development of Fragility Curves in Southern Haiti Based on Accelerometer Observations
A two-fold framework is proposed to, first, estimate the regional attenuation relationship in Haiti due to earthquakes in the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden seismic fault zone and second, to develop fragility curves of various building typologies and occupancy types in Southern Haiti. The attenuation relationship is developed between peak ground acceleration (PGA) […]
