Earthquakes are natural phenomena that can cause severe damage to civilian infrastructure and prolonged disruption to society. Depending on their magnitude, epicenter location, infrastructure characteristics, and many other features, earthquakes may generate large amounts of debris and waste. The large amounts of debris generated after the disaster become one of the main problems for a population facing a health issue and rapid reconstruction of the city. A proper characterization and quantification of debris and subsequent waste management and reconstruction plan is essential for the restoration of an area affected by an earthquake. This study presents a methodological approach to characterize and quantify the debris produced as a consequence of earthquakes, as well as the flow of materials required for the reconstruction of the area affected. The proposed methodology includes an infras...
