Background
In dealing with real world problems uncertainties
are unavoidable. Under the conditions of
uncertainty, the design and planning of engineering
systems must take into account risks, which involve
probability and consequences. The acceptable
levels of risk in the design and planning a system are
closely related to its functionality. For example, if
the failure of the system would pose significant
human health or ecosystem hazard, lower level of
risk can be tolerated. Thus, the system must be
designed based on events and characteristics that
are not likely to occur but have colossal adverse
consequences. In the design of any system of
interest, the tradeoffs between cost of abating risk
and cost of losses from risk must be taken into
account.
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA), a version of decision
analysis, is increasingly embedded in the decision
making and risk analysis on the public policy
agenda. CBA involves weighting the total expected
costs against the total expected benefits of
different scenarios, while benefits and costs are
expresses in monetary terms. CBA may provide a
common rule by which to make necessary
comparisons. For many risk issues, however, the
values of different elements could be extremely account.

different scenarios, while benefits and costs are
expresses in monetary terms. CBA may provide a
common rule by which to make necessary
comparisons. For many risk issues, however, the
values of different elements could be extremely
difficult or impossible to quantify. In these cases,
aggregation of different criteria into a single
decision-making variable (such as total cost or
benefit-cost ratio) may not be feasible.
Scenario Scenario
The recent 9.1 magnitude earthquake in Japan
triggered a devastating tsunami that culminated in
the death of thousands of people and the
destruction of many houses. With the benefit of
hindsight, lower levels of risk should have been
accepted when designing the built environment in
the area. In this project, you are given the task of
determining an optimal level of risk and its
corresponding earthquake magnitude for the
design of buildings in Japan. However, the scope of
this scenario is limited to the construction (cost of
risk abatement) and damage cost (cost of losses
from risk) of buildings. Incorporation of loss of
human lives and ecological hazards would require
more rigorous analysis.
Objectives
The objectives of the project are to:
graphically illustrate the occurrence of major
earthquakes in Japan over the 1900-2021
period.
• fit statistical models to the earthquake
magnitude data for Japan.
• select a model that fits the data best using Objectives
The objectives of the project are to:
graphically illustrate the occurrence of major
earthquakes in Japan over the 1900-2021
period.
• fit statistical models to the earthquake
magnitude data for Japan.
• select a model that fits the data best using
graphical evaluation and goodness-of-fit
measures.
• compute the earthquake magnitude at varying
levels of risk.
• estimate cost of risk abatement (construction
cost), cost of losses from risk (damage cost)
and total cost.
identify the optimal level of risk and
corresponding earthquake magnitude.
Equations 1 and 2 can be used to estimate the
abatement cost (c₁) and damage cost (c2) in US
dollars, respectively:
C1
c₁ = 4.8(x − 1.95) 12
-
Eq. 1
C₂ =
= 4500 exp[−6.8 (x — 9.9)]
-
Eq. 2
where x is the design earthquake magnitude.
The total cost is c₁+C2. Note that as the design C1
=
-
: 4.8(x — 1.95) 12
Eq. 1
C2
=
4500 exp[−6.8 (x — 9.9)]
Eq. 2
where x is the design earthquake magnitude.
The total cost is c₁+C2. Note that as the design
earthquake magnitude increases, the capacity of
the system to withstand earthquake loading
increases. Thus, the cost of damages decreases as
the design earthquake magnitude increases.
Conversely, the cost of abating risk (i.e.,
construction cost) increases as the design
earthquake magnitude increases. These
relationships may be used to compute the cost-
benefit plot and the optimal design earthquake
magnitude.
Assume that the cost of damages (D in billion U.S.
dollars) in the region can be obtained as a function
of earthquake magnitude (m) in Richter:
D = h (m) = 0.18 (m − 6)5.8 ; m > 6 richter

3/n Mapping where things are
The simplest form of geographic analysis is to show features on a map and let the viewer
do the analysis in the mind's eye. It falls on the cartographer to use various colors and
symbols and to group data in a logical manner so the viewer can clearly see the information
being highlighted. More complex methods involve categorizing the data, and designing
symbology for each category. The most basic of maps simply show where things are
without complicated analysis. These can be very useful and enhanced by symbolizing
different categories. By symbolizing categories you can show both location and some
characteristics of the features.

Scenario
Your company has been hired to create a geographic map of the location and magnitude of
major earthquakes for Japan over the 1900-2018 period. This map will be viewed by a
diverse audience with different levels of expertise in geographic analysis. Thus, the map
should only include information that can be easily interpreted by the viewers and should
not include complicated details.
