Application of Bayesian network model in determining the risk of building damage caused by earthquakes

Abstract

Indonesia is one country that could potentially tectonic earthquakes. This is caused by the position of Indonesia is located at the junction of three major tectonic plates; the Indo-Australian, the Eurasian and Pacific. This earthquake impacts a huge loss both loss of life and property. It can be seen during the earthquake that struck Indonesia precisely in Padang at the end of 2009. One of these objects is building property losses. To minimize the potential losses of buildings due to earthquakes must be known the possibility of building in a location will be damaged by the earthquake. Various ways have been done to predict the level of damage to buildings, one of which is the Bayesian network model.
