Drift-based Fragility Curves and Damage Assessment

GSense System at a Glance

• A network of sensor nodes installed in different floors of a building measuring acceleration.

• The nodes include a low noise MEMS tri-axial accelerometer, a 16bit ADC, a power control (UPS) unit, an integrated processing unit enabling on-board processing, GPS option for time synchronization and a gateway (mini PC) for real-time data acquisition, analysis and archiving.

• The gateway is calculating damage probabilities for every floor following an earthquake event and sends damage alerts through CAP to a central command and control software (GSense Operator).

• The GSense Operator visualize the alerts, monitors all Gsense installations in different buildings, the nodes state of health and manages the nodes and gateway configuration remotely when required.

Earthquake Recording Example

GSense Gateway

GSense Gateway is a Mini-PC used for:

•Real Time Data Acquisition from GSense Nodes

•Data Archiving and Storage

•On-Site Data Analysis (Shear Wave Velocity, Base Shear, PGA , PGV, Interstory Drift)

•Real Time Event Detection using STA/LTA Algorithm

•Damage Probabilities Calculation for every Floor and Direction

•CAP Alert Generation

•CAP Router interconnection

On-Site Analysis Software

Event Detection

STA/LTA Algorithm:

Channel Trigger1) Averages of signal amplitudes are calculated for a short and a long time window

2) A ratio of both values - STA/LTA ratio - is calculated

This ratio is continuously compared to STA/LTA trigger threshold level.

If the ratio exceeds this threshold, a channel trigger is declared.

When the current STA/LTA ratio falls below STA/LTA detrigger threshold level the channel detriggers.

Event TriggerEarthquake event is considered if a predefined number of channels are triggered at the same time

CAP Alert Example

4 Parameters (Value Pairs) Per Floor and Direction to Display Damage Assessment.

The CAP Router (1)

• A software service which enables messages to be routed according to their header information

• Based on EDXL-DE (Distribution Element) and an Event Driven Architecture (EDA)

• Each agency or organization is seen is registered to the CAP Router as an “endpoint”

• Endpoints can be both message publishers and/or message consumers

The CAP Router device consists of four main services. These are as follows:

1. Registration Service– Each endpoint has a responsibility to announce themselves to the Message Router along with their reachability attributes:•URN•Descriptive Name•Attributes and methods of communication with the end-point (currently only via a Message Broker)•The messages they wish to receive based on

• Message Type• Geographical areas of interest• Keywords

The CAP Router (2)

The CAP Router (3)

2. Message Service – Each publisher endpoint or any generator of information contacts the consumer and hands over the message for delivery specifying the recipients. The following process will be followed on reception:•Check if the publisher and consumer are valid•Check if the consumer endpoint is available•Analyze the Distribution Element information•Send message to consumer endpoint(s) which match the EDXL-DE info•Cache message should the consumer endpoint not be available

The CAP Router (4)

3. Query Service – The Query service interfaces the Persistence Serviceand allows endpoints to query:•which endpoints have been registered in the Router•Available consumer Roles•Available consumer keywords•Available consumer areas

This allows the publisher endpoints to insert the appropriate recipient information in the EDXL-DE envelope.

For the GSense system the Query service is accessed by the Gateway Remote Administration application is order to setup the selection of the CAP Alert consumers.
