Table 4.

Ground-truth used for validation of the relation between damage proxy inferred from InSAR data and the damage as function of peak-overpressure.

Number Locality Distance (km) Est, damage % of coherence loss (damage proxy) Est. overpressure (kPA) Computed damage proxy (%)
1 Sursock Palace 0.9 Partial demolition—partial collapse roof 59 7–15 44.4–61.8
2 Saint George hospital 1 Minor damage, partial demolition 47.9 8–15 47.5–61.8
3 Seaside Arena 1.1 Serious structural damage, collapse 61.5–74.3 18–40 66–84.1
4 Saint George church 1.4 Minor damage 58.9 7–15 44.4–61.8.75
5 Forum de Beyrouth 1.5 Metal buckled 52–60 7–15 46.3–61.8
6 Hotel Cavalier 3 Minor damage, buckling None 3–7 28.26–36

See map of locations in Fig. 7. For each location the distance is given relative to explosion location and damage levels are estimated from available media coverage and reports22,44,45.
