Abstract
Seismic damage to urban buildings can be simulated more rationally and accurately using the nonlinear multiple degree-of-freedom (MDOF) models and the high-performance computing method introduced in Chaps. 8–11. Such simulations established a solid foundation for regional earthquake loss predictions.

In this work, the economic losses of different years are adjusted to 2011 US$ considering inflation. The adjustment factors are calculated according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) statistics provided by the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics or by referring to Coin News (2015). The adjustment factor from 2010 to 2011 is 1.03.
