For a single building, one of the authors, Takahashi et al. (2002, 2004), proposed a seismic risk management methodology, and demonstrated that the life-cycle cost is useful to explain a reduction/increment of physical and economical damage. In this paper, the methodology is extended to the seismic risk management of multiple buildings. As a case study, we deal with multiple industrial buildings, owned and operated by a single company. These building are assumed to be located near the ten major harbors in Japan. In dealing with an industrial building that accommodates many employees, it is significant to consider their safety. Thus this paper focuses on the computation of the probabilities that the building incurs severe damage states, as the primary indexes of employees’ safety. The estimated damage probabilities of the buildings will assist the manager of the company to decide on the priority of seismic upgrade of the existing buildings upon its limited budget.}, publisher = {Society for Social Management Systems}, title = {Application of the Seismic Risk Evaluation Focusing on the Safety of Employees in Industrial Buildings}, volume = {2}, year = {2006} }
