Most of what I did this week was work on the research I started last week on unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. I have been looking at images of URM buildings from the Canterbury Earthquake series, and analyzing the amount of damage to each building.
For each building I have been looking at damage patterns and analyzing types of damage as in-plane or out-of-plane. I have also been estimating the amount of debris created outside of the building and volume loss within the building. I have been estimating the area, height, and distance of debris.
I hope everyone's safe... :(
