Comparison of methods to develop risk-targeted seismic design maps
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2019 The seismic design of structures according to current codes is generally carried out using a uniform-hazard spectrum for a fixed return period, and by employing a deterministic approach that disregards many uncertainties, such as the contribution of ...

Műszaki Tudományos Közlemények, 2019 Abstract Earthquake zones cover a significant part of our earth, therefore, when planning and designing residential areas, factories, or other human establishments, professionals have to take into account the seismic hazard of that area. The current earthquake standard in Romania is based on the European code. This paper presents, beside
