frbca

`{frbca}` is an R package supporting economic evaluation of functional recovery design for buildings. The goal of frbca is to conduct benefit-cost analysis (BCA) for buildings archetypes designed for functional recovery. The inputs include: - Expected Annualized Losses (EALs) for (i) a baseline (code-conforming) design and (ii) recovery-based design interventions - Structural and nonstructural costs for both (i) and (ii) - A list of analysis parameters, including discount rate, time horizon, and economic analysis parameters such as business income For more details, see: Fung, JF, Cook, DT, Elsibaie, S, Zhang, Y, Sattar, S, Morris, P, Johnson, KJ, and Burton, HV (2025). ``Economic Evaluation at the Design Phase for Functional Recovery: Integrated Design, Assessment, and Economic Evaluation for New Buildings,’’ In Review.
