Presentation on Software Development
Overview of FEMA P-58 P-58 is a performance prediction methodology based on a 10-year FEMA study (enabled by much previous research). P-58 is an alternative to other experience-based or judgment-based methods (e.g. HAZUS, ATC-13, etc.). P-58 is tailored to building-specific analysis (as opposed to regional/portfolio analyses). ATC is currently working on another 5-year effort to improving the methodology, implementation, ease of use. The REDi Rating System (this afternoon) uses a modified version of FEMA P-58 as part of the process. U.S. Resiliency Council Presentation on Software Development

Overview of FEMA P-58 FEMA P-58 Output Results: Losses ($) [USRC: Repair Cost Rating] Fatalities & injuries [USRC: Safety Rating] Repair time & red tagging [USRC: Recovery Time Rating (some translation required)] Types of analysis results: Intensity-based (e.g. DBE) [USRC Ratings] Time-based (annualized values) Scenario-based (for a given event) U.S. Resiliency Council Presentation on Software Development

Fragility curves Loss Estimation (loss curves) and other consequences Monte Carlo Simulation used (“roll dice” thousands of times). Each “dice roll” gives a single observation of losses (and other consequences). Putting all of the “dice rolls” together gives solid statistical information on performance.

FEMA P-58: Perceived “Difficulty” Presentation on Software Development
Hazard and Ground Motions Soil and hazard curve Ground motions (if needed) Structural Responses Option #1: Response-history Option #2: Simplified method Damage Prediction Contents (str. and non-str.) Fragility curves Loss Estimation (loss curves) and other consequences I need to hire a geotech to do this…? I need to do a response-history analysis…? I need to count and enter every foot of partition wall and other contents…? U.S. Resiliency Council Presentation on Software Development

FEMA P-58: Perceived “Difficulty” Presentation on Software Development
It may not be as hard to implement FEMA P-58 as some currently perceive it to be. The “What If” Question: What if we had a stream-lined FEMA P-58 analysis that could be done in hours rather than days (and provide all of the same benefits)?

My Thinking Over Past Couple Years
Most of the barrier to widespread use of FEMA P-58 are related to software and ease-of-use. FEMA and ATC have created a great methodology but are not in the business of maintaining software. FEMA has funded additional ongoing development and is currently working on both the methodology and design aids (to improve ease of use, etc.). For our profession to move forward with use of FEMA P-58 methods someone needs to step-up to provide and maintain enabling software once FEMA/ATC are done with Phase II work. U.S. Resiliency Council Presentation on Software Development
16
My Thinking Over Past Couple Years
In February, Jack Baker and I decided to work to fill this needed role by: Creating user-friendly software to implement P-58. Maintaining software over time (fragilities, etc.). Improving and extending the methodology in the future after ATC/FEMA work is done (improvements, comparative methods, etc.). Timing: Our timing lines up with the USRC work, so we would like to help support the USRC process. U.S. Resiliency Council Presentation on Software Development

Hazard and Ground Motions Soil and hazard curve Ground motions (if needed) Structural Responses Option #1: Response-history Option #2: Simplified method Damage Prediction Contents (str. and non-str.) Fragility curves Loss Estimation (loss curves) Soil and hazard curves embedded. Simplified method embedded (only need period, mode shape, yield drift). Structural and non-structural contents estimates and pre-populated. Two-level structure: (1) Simple (basic rating, prelim. design, PML) (2) Refine and go as deep as you like (full new PBD).

Status and Timeline Status and Timeline: February: Started. April: Secured a National Science Foundation research commercialization grant to help fund. Currently: In active development (Jack, me, others). Fall: Beta release expected this fall. ATC/FEMA: Being done in coordination with ATC (so all pulling in same direction) but not funded by ATC (because needs to become a commercial tool to be sustainable).

Next Steps We want to support and enable the USRC rating system effort as best as possible. We are still in active development, so please: Let us know how we can tailor things to be most useful to the USRC effort. Give us any other feedback/thoughts (we are all ears!).
