Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an earthquake damage evaluation program capable of precisely evaluating damage of a building when hit by an earthquake. SOLUTION: A computer 10 for evaluating earthquake damage of a building is operated as: a storage means 12 storing a map 14 of an object region R including the object building A and positions 13, 19 of a plurality of earthquake observation points C and a damage rate function 16 of the building A to earthquake motion; an earthquake motion characteristic setting means 20 setting an earthquake motion distance attenuation expression 21 of an engineering base 1 of the object region R and an earthquake motion amplification rate distribution 22 of a surface ground 2; an input means 25 inputting as earthquake information an earthquake motion observation value I of each observation point C, an earthquake magnitude M, and a seismic center position B; an earthquake motion distribution calculation means 30 calculating an earthquake motion distribution P of the surface of the ground of the object region R from the earthquake information I, M, B and the earthquake motion distance attenuation expression 21 and the earthquake motion amplification rate distribution 22; a damage calculation means 35 calculating damage Q of the building A from the earthquake motion distribution P, the position 13 of the building A, and the damage rate function 16; and an output means 40 outputting the map 14, the earthquake motion distribution P, and the damage Q.
