Abstract

In the catastrophe insurance industry, it is impractical for a catastrophe model to simulate millions of sites’ environments in a short time. Hence, the attenuation relation is often adopted to simulate the ground motion on account of calculation speed, and both ground motion expectations and uncertainties must be calculated. Due to the vulnerability curves of our model being based on simulations with a large number of deterministic ground motions, it is necessary but not efficient for loss assessment to analyze all possible ground motion amplitudes and their corresponding loss rates. This paper develops a simplified method to rapidly simulate loss expectations and uncertainties. In this research, Chinese masonry buildings are the focus. The result shows that the modified method gives accurate loss results quickly.
