ST-10-18  a A  thesis  submitted  in  partial  fulfillment  of  the  requirements  for  the  degree  of  Master  of  Engineering  in Structural  Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology  aThesis (M.Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2010  aThis  study  deals  with  the  earthquake  risk  assessment  in  Chiang  Mai,  through  HAZUS-MH  loss  estimation  software.  Database  of  Chiang  Mai  is  improved  by,  (1)  refme  Chiang  Mai  census  tracts  from  95  to  145  tracts,  (2)  improve  the  building  matrix  from  building  count  type  to  area  base  type,  (3)  separate  the  essential  facilities  out  of  building  database  and  ( 4)  collect  the  missing  lifeline  and  transportation  data.  The  Chiang  Mai  database  is  analyzed  by  HAZUS-MH  with  four  selected  earthquakes  scenarios.  Moreover,  strengthening  method  is  selected  for  improving  building  capacity  by  strengthens  the  most  damage  suffering  structure,  which  is  concrete  structure.  The  result  shows  that  the  strengthened  concrete  structure  reduces  building  damage,  casualty  and  building  losses  around  20%  in  severe  damage  earthquake.  Although  in  slightly  damage  earthquake,  strengthening  method  reduces  just  a  few  building  damages  and  casualty  but  strengthening  method  should  be  provided  for  prevention  of  future  earthquake.  0aEarthquakesxRisk assessmentzThailandzChiang Mai 0aEarthquake hazard analysiszThailandzChiang Mai0 aPennung Warnitchai,eChairperson1 aSun  Sayamipuk, eExamination committee0 aThanakorn Pheeraphan,eExamination Committee1 aPark, Kyung Ho,eExamination Committee2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
