1.Summary

Following the devastating magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake in Haiti, IC conducted a first stage evaluation for the garment factories at the Parc Industriel Metropolitain (PIM) (also known as SONAPI)andasitevisittothemainportofHaiti(1519Feb.2010). For PIM the overall performance was acceptable. There were no collapsed structures and preliminary conclusions suggest that only (1) one factory shell should be demolished, (10) ten factoryshellswouldrequiremayorrepairandtheremaining(35)thirtyfivebuildingswillrequire minorrepairs.Three(3)factorieswerenotinspectedbecausetwowereoccupiedbytheUNand one was closed and the owner did not grant access. According to this quick assessment, the total estimated cost of repair/rebuilding these shells to earthquakeresistant standards would bearoundUS$20.7(averageofUS$415,418pershell). InadditiontothePIMfactories,theteaminspectedthemainportofHaitiandtheroadleading to the port. The port infrastructure, both at north and south piers, was heavily damaged, unusable, thus requiring a major reconstruction. Part of the dock discharge area sunk and its twocranesaredamaged.Thebuildingsholdingcontainersareabouttocollapse.Theoperators areusingsomealternativeoptions,includingtwomovingbargesrentedfromCrowleyMaritime, a US firm, that have been used as temporary docks for cargo. Crowley Maritime was also workingtoclearthefallencranesfromtheportinadditiontoremovingotherdebrisandhelp increase the flow of goods in and out of Haiti.

The road was not heavily damaged and firms encountered minimal disruption in transporting theirgoodstotheport.Theroadwasheavilycongestedduetoincreasedtrafficcausedbythe reliefoperators. None of the buildings or structures other than the port had any architectural or structural drawingsorinformationthatcouldgiveanideaoftheirstructuralsystem.Therefore,thenext stepforanyevaluationand/ormoredetailedcostestimatesshouldbetomeasureandproduce "asbuilt"engineering/architecturaldrawings.

2.Background&Scope

Amagnitude7.0MwearthquakestruckHaitionJanuary12,2010at21:53UTC,approximately 25km(16mi)WSWfromPortauPrinceatadepthof13km(8.1mi)ontheEnriquilloPlantain GardenfaultsystemaccordingtotheUSGSdata.StrongshakingwasassociatedwithintensityIX ontheModifiedMercalliscale(MM),arangethatcancausemoderatetoveryheavydamage eventoearthquakeresistantstructures. The quake occurred at the boundary of the Caribbean plate and North American plate, which accommodates 20millimeters (0.79in) per year. The strikeslip fault system in the region has two branches in Haiti, the SeptentrionalOrient fault in the north and the EnriquilloPlaintain Gardenfaultinthesouthwhichaccommodatesabout7millimetersperyear.Bothitslocation and focal mechanism suggest that the January 2010 quake was caused by a rupture of the EnriquilloPlaintain Garden fault, which had been locked for 250years, gathering stress, since lastquakeonApril8th1760. The island where Haiti is located is on a high seismicity risk area. For this reason a comprehensiveassessmentofexistingbuildingsshouldbeevaluatedand,ifneeded,reinforced sothatHaitiisreadyforfutureseismicactivity. The objective of this piece of work is to conduct a rapid technical assessment of the reconstructionrequirementsandcostsforPIMandthelogisticsinfrastructureinPortauPrince. ThefourdaymissiontoHaitifocusedonvisiting49buildingshousinggarmentoperationsinside PIM,performingavisualinspectionandseekingarchitecturalorstructuraldrawingsinorderto estimate the seriousness of damage and estimate repair/rebuilding costs of such industrial buildings. No assessment was done of damaged machinery or equipments, lost sales, opportunitycostofworkersbeingusedfornonproductivetasks,oranyotherlossesthatoccur undersuchanaturaldisaster.Costofdemolitionwillneedtobeaddedwhererelevant. Thisreportpresentsanevaluationofthedamagesandrepair/reconstructionrecommendations by building, suggests materials needed, identifies vendors and availability in the country, and estimates overall cost for the repair/reconstruction of PIM, taking into account more earthquakeresistantstructures.

3.DescriptionofDamageEvaluationProcedures

The damage evaluation procedures seek to identify the damage caused by January 12th earthquake and understand future building performance in case another earthquake hits Port auPrince.Thespecificobjectivesofthisinvestigationwereto: a) Gather information on the characteristics of the damaging ground motion at the buildingsite; b)Verifythegeneralphysicalcharacteristicsofthebuilding; c)Identifystructuralcomponentsandelementsofthelateralforceresistingsystem; d)Determinestructuralpropertiesofthecomponentsinsufficientdetail; e)Observeandrecorddamagetothecomponents; f) Distinguish, to the extent possible, between damage caused by the earthquake and damagethatmayhaveexistedpriortotheearthquake. The evaluation followed the methodology of FEMA 306 ("Evaluation of Earthquake Damaged Concrete and Masonry Wall Buildings")1 and surveyed the structures within PIM. Methods for inspectingandtestingconcreteandmasonrywallbuildingsforearthquakedamagefallintotwo generalcategories:nondestructiveandintrusive.Themethodologyappliedforthisassessment usedanondestructiveinspectionprocedures,especiallyusingvisualobservationofallelements andcomponentsoflateralloadresistingsystemstodetectcracklocationandsize,spalllocation andsize,reinforcingiffound(locationandbuckling),aswellaselementthickness.Alldamaged sites and buildings were photographed for further reference and analysis. The consultant also requestedarchitecturalorstructuraldrawings,butnonewereavailable. For the reasons above the consultant urges additional evaluation to the shells, including measurement, drafting of "as built" engineering/architectural drawings, and analysis of the assembly of each individual component of the buildings. This would shed light not only on building safety, but also on the main causes of damage to the structures, and may reveal component behavior that differs from that predicted by this evaluation. By determining how structuralpropertieschanged,performancerestorationactionscouldbeformulatedtorestore thedamagedbuildingstoearthquakesafestandards.Thiswouldalsoprovidethefoundationfor amoredetailedrepair/reconstructioncostestimateperbuilding.

5.ConstructionCompaniesandEarthquakeResistantMaterials RequiredforReconstructingFactoryShells
The engineering mission confirmed that there are construction companies, both Haitian and foreign, capable of successfully completing the PIM reconstruction according to regional earthquakeproof standards. The firms indicated that they were available to provide repair servicesimmediately2. Earthquakeresistantconstructionmaterialssuchasconcrete,blocksandsteelreinforcingbars are also available in Haiti, but materials like steel (rolled shapes and roof decks), grout for injections,andepoxyneedtobeimported,andifavailableinHaiti,supplyisverylimited. Specialattentionshouldbeputonthequalityofconcreteblocks.Theinspectionsrevealedthat builders had used very poor quality concrete blocks. It is therefore strongly recommended to verifyqualitywiththesupplier.Table3showsmaterialsrequiredtorepairthefactories,their pricesandavailabilityinHaitiandpossiblesuppliers.

The evaluation was based on a rapid visual screening of forty nine (49) structures in PIM. Therefore, only rough estimates of structural repairs costs are provided. These estimates are based on engineering judgment as well as on the cost estimates from previous work for the SONAPIbuildings.Estimatedcostsperfactoryarebasedonthestandard30mx70msizefactory shellsfoundinsidePIM(withtheexceptionofbuilding#22whichisatwostorybuilding).The costestimatesarebasedonreconstructionofbuildingstoregionalearthquakesafestandards.
