Infrastructure Risk#
Calculation Steps#
Preparation of input models, which includes:
Exposure model
Hazard model
Fragility model
Consequence model
Computation of the specific damage states and assignment of functionality/operationality to each component
Creation of original network from the exposure model
Update of the functionality of each component to the originally created infrastructure network and removal of the non-functional/non-operational components
Network analysis based on the original and updated infrastructure network
Computation of the following performance metrics, based on connectivity analysis:
Complete Connectivity Loss (CCL)
Partial Connectivity Loss (PCL)
Weighted Connectivity Loss (WCL)
Efficiency Loss (EL)
In summary, for the computation of infrastructure risk at connectivity level in OpenQuake engine, the input requirements and the outputs obtained are shown in the next figure.
