I need some clarification about how are the damage and loss models coupled in PELICUN to get a coupled damage and loss model. I assume some ratios are worked out which when multiplied and summed over the fragility curves, gives the expected loss curve. As such these ratios should be same for similar building attributes. Can you please provide some explanation or clarification about the same.
I have been reading the report on Lake Charles testbed on Designsafe, where the same approach has been used.
