This report describes progress during the second year's work on a Civil Defense program to provide FEMA with a range of damage functions and casualty functions to determine the survivability of people in various basement shelters.
The characteristics of flat plate and two-way slab systems and the effects of code specified design procedures, engineering practice, and construction procedures were discussed.
Non-upgraded two-way slabs are approximately twice as strong as the flat plate slabs. For upgraded (shored) systems, however, specific building characteristics are not important factors: any shored slab, with standard reinforcing and dimensions, has about the same capacity as any other slab.
A mathematical model for the fragility curve of slab systems was developed. Fatality curves have been developed for ceiling collapse and a variety of other casualty mechanisms (nuclear weapons effects) with emphasis to date on non- upgraded shelters areas.
This review of casualty producing mechanisms is continuing and all casualty curves should be considered as provisional.
