Earthquake Damage Estimation Using Fuzzy Logic and Type-2 Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

In this study, three different fuzzy logic systems were developed for earthquake damage detection. The first system evaluates the damage status of the building based on various factors, while the second system analyzes the earthquake intensity and ground slope. The third system combines the results of the first two systems to comprehensively evaluate the general status of the building. Both classical fuzzy logic and type-2 fuzzy logic methods were applied separately and successful results were obtained. This structure offers an effective approach in post-earthquake damage detection.
