In this paper we investigate the use causal inferencing to quantify the benefits of seismic risk mitigation strategies during real earthquakes. Specifically, we devise a framework to quantify realized and unrealized befits of cripple retrofit during hte 2014 South Napa earthquake. We find that the cost saved (from inevitable damage) due to the retrofits was … Read More
