EDES_B Flow provides methodologies for earthquake disaster estimation which can be used when an earthquake occurs or in preparation for ones. The methodologies are categorized according to the flow of earthquake disaster estimation procedures and technical levels of method.

The flow of the procedure contains the following items:

         Earthquake Source

 Estimation of earthquake source characteristics

      Propagation and Amplification

 Estimation of earthquake wave transmission characteristics from the source to the site

         Building Response and Damage

 Estimation of building response and damage under earthquake effect

       Other

 Other factors related to earthquake damage estimation

In each item, methodologies are classified into three grades according to their technical levels:

         Low           : Simple method relatively easy to use

         Medium     : General method for the common use

         High          : Sophisticated method using up-to-date knowledge

You can select appropriate methodologies from the flowchart for your purpose.
