8. Storey Loss Function Generation

The slf_generator class generates Storey Loss Functions (SLFs) from fragility, consequence, and quantity data. SLFs link expected repair loss at a storey to the Engineering Demand Parameter (EDP). A Monte Carlo approach is used to sample damage states and associated repair costs across a user-defined inventory of damageable components.
