Damage Functions

[josetteaudi]

Hello,

This is Josette Audi, I was a REU at the SimCenter this summer. I am looking for some guidance on how to use Pelicun to access damage functions.

Thank you!

Hi Josette,

Thanks for reaching out!

The damage functions that you can find in our Damage and Loss Model Library are bundled with Pelicun, and they are readily available whenever you run an analysis. I can provide more information about how to access those.

If you want to use custom damage functions that are not yet in our DLML, you'll need to provide those in a standard format using CSV files. I can also provide more information about how to do this.

So, please tell me a bit more about what exactly you are trying to do with Pelicun and I'll be able to provide more specific advice.

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,

Thank you for the information, I appreciate it. I'm looking to access the HAZUS damage functions used to measure structural damage in coastal A and V flood zones.

Thanks for your help,
Josette
