Abstract
A set of judgment-based fatality rates in collapsed buildings for implementation in earthquake loss estimation models have been compiled and shown in Table 5.1. The fatality ranges are presented as a percentage of the total number of occupants of a completely collapsed building (volume loss of 10 % or greater). Some of these rates were based on unique observations from particular structural collapses, whereas others are based on averaging over a period of time and several events.
