Abstract
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-direction are assumed to be East-West direction - Structural Damage - Four classes of Damage
a) Light: Hairline (crack width not exceeding approximate 0.13 mm) inclined and flexural cracks were observed in structural elements
b) Moderate: Wider cracks or spalling of concrete were observed.
c) Severe: At least one element had a structural failure.
d) Collapse: At lease one floor slab or part of it lost its elevation - Masonry Wall Damage - Damage to infill walls classified as follows:
a) Light: Hairline cracks occurred.
b) Moderate: Wider cracks appeared or large pieces of plaster flaked off.
c) Severe: The element collapsed or cracks wide enough to see through the wall appeared. - Captive Columns: Are there captive columns?
- Column Index (%)
CI = 0.5 Acol/Af *100%
where,
Acol: the sum of cross-sectional areas of all columns at ground floor.
Af: total areas above ground levels - Wall Index (NS) (%)
WI = (Acw + 0.1Amw)/Af *100%
where,
Acw: the sums of cross-sectional areas of reinforced concrete walls in north-south direction at ground floor
Amw: the sums of cross-sectional areas of infill masonry walls in north-south direction at ground floor - Wall Index (EW) (%)
WI = (Acw + 0.1Amw)/Af *100%
where,
Acw: the sums of cross-sectional areas of reinforced concrete walls in east-west direction at ground floor
Amw: the sums of cross-sectional areas of infill masonry walls in east-west direction at ground floor - Min WI (%)
Minimum Wall Index - Priority Index (Hassan Index, %)
PI = WI + CI
where, WI = Wall Index, CI = Column Index
