Executive Summary
• Seismic upgrade is an insurance policy designed to minimize risk.
• Our goal is to determine the value of each option based on the seismic risk and benefit.
• In our WBS we calculated the cost of each option and the benefit to cost ratio (BCR).
• Conclusion:– 12.3% in 50 year event (2006 sized event)
• BCR<1 for all current options. This is due to low probability and high cost to retrofit.
– 2% in 50 year event (collapse prevention). • Option B (protects glass) BCR=16• Option D (protects against collapse) BCR>>1
Benefit cost ratio (BCR)(12.3% probability in 50 years)
based on 2006 event
• Baseline loss (2006 event): $7.7M• Estimate loss for each restraint design.• Benefit=Loss reduction ( Baseline loss- Estimated Loss)• USGS probability of 0.3g’s (2006 event) quake=12.3%.• BCR= Benefit x Probability/Cost (want > 1)
Baseline loss:Cost of 2006 earthquake
• Lost ~5 weeks of science (100k/telescope/night): $7.0M• Cost of repair (summit): $681K• Total lost: $7.7M

USGS ProbabilityPeak Ground Acceleration (PGA) in 50 years for
Mauna Kea
• 10% probability of 0.4g PGA
• 2% probability of 1.2 g’ PGA
• Use Gutenberg-Richter recurrence relation, log(N)= a-b*M solve for a, b.
• Calculate 12.3% probability for 0.3 g PGA

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (a.k.a. limited liability clause)
• Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) is a methodology that estimates the likelihood that various levels of earthquake-caused ground motion will be exceeded at a given location in a given future time period.
• Due to the infrequency of large seismic events, there is inherently a large uncertainty in USGS predictions.
• Estimates continually being improved by USGS.
Conclusion
• BCR<1for all current options. This is due to low probability and high cost to retrofit.
• Until we can achieve BCR>1 we do not recommend proceeding to PDR.
Accelerations vs. damage• The damage should be roughly
proportional to acceleration (assume constant duration).

Benefit cost ratio (BCR)based on 2% in 50 year
(Restraints only prevent collapse)
• Baseline loss: Possible loss of life. Total loss of both telescopes.
• Estimate loss for each restraint design.• Benefit=Loss reduction ( Baseline loss- Estimated Loss)• USGS probability of 1.2g’s=2%• BCR= Benefit x Probability/Cost (want > 1)
“Collapse prevention” Baseline 2% probability in 50 years
• The "value of a statistical life" is $6.9 million in today's dollars, the Environmental Protection Agency reckoned in May [2011]
• In a 24 hour period assume 10 people were at risk ($70M)
• Replacement cost for two telescopes in today’s dollars ($750M?)
• Total: $820M???• (The TMT telescope cost was estimated in 2009
to be $970 million to $1.2 billion)
Collapse prevention restraint2% probability in 50 years
Loss estimate
• Options A through C already include collapse restraints.
• Option D: Design K1-style restraints for K2. Include additional uplift restraint to meet zone 4 PGA for both telescopes.
• The damage of an earthquake is proportional to the energy release:
• Option B$7.7M x 4.46=$34M. • Option D: add $85M for M1 and M2 replacement= $119M
Benefit (Loss reduction) 2% probability in 50 years
from adding collapse prevention• Benefit= Baseline loss-estimated loss
• Option B: Benefit=$820M-$34M=$786M
• Option D: Benefit =$820M-$119M=$701M
Cost
• Option B: $854k
• Option D: $120K= 16x $5k+50% (Needs refinement!)
BCR
• BCR= Benefit x Probability/Cost (want > 1)
• BCR• Option B: $701M*.02/854,420= 16• Option D: $786M*0.02 /$120K= 131
