OSRE1 was developed with Microsoft VB .NET 2003. Please note that you must have the .NET Framework installed on your computer in order to use OSRE. The Microsoft .NET Framework is responsible for running programs developed in .NET. If you are running Windows XP SP2, the Microsoft.NET Framework was most probably installed along with SP2. To check if it is already installed on your system, go to “Control Panel \ Add & Remove Programs” and see if it's listed there. If it is not, click the link below to download it from Microsoft (FREE),

• Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1

 

and follow the instructions given there. You only have to download it and install it once, and then you can run any program written in VB.NET.

Documentation for OSRE1 can be found HERE !

For any queries regarding OSRE please contact Christakis Mina, Kyoto University.

Mini-manual for the FEMA fragility function calculator by ATC-58. The executable Java software is also available here. Send feedback to keith@cohen-porter.net.

Text file provides fraction of occupants killed as a function of site-soil-adjusted Sa(0.3 sec, 5%) or Sa(1.0, 5%) and region, site class, magnitude, and distance range, consistent with HAZUS-MH methodology. 

This file presents results of a study documented in Porter, K.A., 2009. Cracking an open safe: HAZUS vulnerability functions in terms of structure-independent intensity. Earthquake Spectra May 2009. This is version 2, calculated according to the Earthquake Spectra (May 2009) manuscript.
