Casualties, Search and Rescue and Medical Care in Heavily Damaged Buildings: The Phillippine Earthquake Experience

这项研究将调查多层钢筋混凝土结构的地震损伤原因，这是最致命的建筑类型之一。具体地说，将研究1990年菲律宾地震期间发生的伤亡情况。这个项目包括对已经收集的数据进行分析，涉及建筑学、结构工程学、表皮病学和急救医学等领域的观点和方法。重点将放在建筑物性能、震动强度和受伤模式中的居住者行为之间的关系上。

This study will investigate the causes of earthquake injuries in multi-story, reinforced concrete structures--one of the most lethal building types. Specifically, injuries and fatalities will be studied that occurred during the 1990 Philippine earthquake. This project comprises the analysis of already collected data, involving perspectives and methods from the fields of architecture, structural engineering, epidermiology and emergency medicine. The focus will be on the relationship between building performance, shaking intensity and occupant actions in the pattern of injuries.
