This paper describes an analysis of costs of damage to non-domestic buildings (all low rise) in the M W = 6.6 Edgecumbe New Zealand earthquake of 2 March 1987. The damage cost for each building was converted to a damage ratio by dividing it by the replacement value of that building. For the MM7 and MM9 intensity zones, the mean values and statistical distributions of these damage ratios were then found, the lognormal distribution fitting the data well. The data was then divided into subsets according to selected classes of construction, and the vulnerabilities of these classes were measured and compared in terms of their mean damage ratios and the associated 95% confidence limits. The classes of building examined included classifications by era of design, number of storeys, materials of construction, and building use. Valuable insights into earthquake resistant design and earthquake risk assessment parameters were obtained through the differences observed between classes, notably significant reductions in the vulnerability of buildings associated with improved ductility provisions.
