Jour. Geol. Soc. India (2025) 101 (6): 759–763.
...Yan Liu; Zitao Wang; Zhongliang Wu ABSTRACT We discuss the fatality of earthquake N (t) reported at time t after the earthquake modeled by N(t) = N 0 [1 - exp (- αt)] in which N 0 is the final death toll which is important for emergency decisionmaking. The model is not dependent on the magnitude...

... and the associated repair costs. Assessing fatalities requires an evaluation of the proportion of damaged buildings that suffer partial or total collapse, as well as the expected fatality rates for occupants inside those collapsed buildings. To support these modeling needs, we reviewed past studies on casualties...

...Max Wyss; Michel Speiser; Stavros Tolis ABSTRACT A key measure of the earthquake problem in a country is the ratio of fatalities to population size. We propose that the new parameter earthquake fatality load per year objectively measures the level of the population suffering in seismically active...
