<br />VERSION 1.0 1/12/95 <br /> <br />LEVEL TWO: Introduction <br /> <br />CHAPTER 8 <br />BENEFIT-COST PROGRAM: LEVEL TWO ANALYSIS <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />Chapter 6, Benefit-Cost Program: Level One Analysis, reviewed the <br />data entries necessary to conduct a LEVEL ONE (Minimum Data) <br />Benefit-Cost Analysis, relying heavily on default values built into the <br />program. This chapter provides guidance on LEVEL TWO (Detailed) <br />analyses which may incorporate much more building-specific data. <br /> <br />ALL of the data input for a LEVEL TWO (Detailed) analysis involves <br />making building-specific estimates which override the default values <br />used in a LEVEL ONE (Minimum Data) analysis. <br /> <br />For a LEVEL TWO (Detailed) analysis, there are five data tables where <br />default information may be overridden by the user with building-specific <br />information: <br /> <br />1. Building Depth-Damage Function <br /> <br />2. Contents Depth-Damage Function ' <br /> <br />3. Displacement Time <br /> <br />4. Functional Downtime <br /> <br />5. Mitigation Project Effectiveness <br /> <br />This chapter reviews these fIVe data tables and provides guidance <br />about making building-specific estimates. <br /> <br />8-1 <br />
