using measured data and hybrid simulation, hazard characterization by free-field site response analysis,
and integrated impact assessment. The hazard and fragility components are refined by employing
nonlinear site response tools and model updating techniques, respectively. Several of these NISRAF
components are tailored to achieve seamless integration and to arrive at an operational system. The
novelty of the developed framework is primarily the integration of the various components of
earthquake impact assessment, which have not been deployed in such an application before. The
framework has been built and demonstrated via applications to a test bed in California. Earthquake
impact assessment results using the generated hazard map and fragility curves correlate well with field
reports, indicating the efficacy of the approach.

This proposed model calibration component takes advantage
of the finite element modeling capability of NISRAF, which allows
a structural model to be built within NISRAF, including geometry,
structural elements, nodal connectivity, material properties, etc.
Therefore, the candidate parameters are readily available and can
be selected as needed. The objective function is customized by
including different number of modes and different weighting
factors for frequencies and mode shapes. Sensitivity analysis is
conducted to investigate the appropriateness of the selected
parameters which can be adjusted accordingly if needed. Finally,
