This project focuses on lessons that can be learned following the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. The objective of the study is to conduct research on the cause and effects of fires initiated by the Loma Prieta earthquake. Specifically the following will be done: o Compile post-earthquake fire statistics in terms of type (electrical, gas or others) and correlate these statistics with the regional earthquake intensity (acceleration) data of the earthquake. o Conduct analytic studies to evaluate the chain of events leading to a fire after an earthquake, investigate the cause of fire and establish the probability of fire development in terms of a given earthquake intensity. o Use the Loma Prieta data and the analytic studies to develop risk of fires associated with future earthquakes and to investigate the design implementation of the calculated risk for hazard mitigation purposes. //

这个项目的重点是教训， 1989年10月17日，Loma 普列塔地震。 研究的目的是进行 研究火灾的原因和后果 由洛马普列塔地震引发。 具体而言，将开展以下工作： O 编制震后火灾统计数据 在类型方面（电力、燃气或 其他）并将这些统计数据 与区域地震烈度 地震的加速度数据。 O 进行分析研究， 一系列事件导致火灾， 地震，调查原因 开火并确定 在给定的条件下， 地震强度。 O 使用洛马普列塔数据和分析 研究发展火灾风险 与未来的地震有关， 研究设计实现 计算的风险，以减轻危害 目的 //
