Seismic risk of R.C. building classes [PDF]
Engineering Structures, 2007 Seismic risk assessment on a large scale may be defined as the prediction of the fraction of buildings expected to reach a conventional limit state in the region and time period of interest. This definition is the frequentistic interpretation of the failure probability for a homogeneous class of structures.

Microearthquakes and seismic risk
Geologiska Föreningen i Stockholm Förhandlingar, 1978Abstract This paper is presented in the nature of a review of the potential of microearthquake surveys in seismotectonic studies, particularly seismic-risk analyses. Microearthquakes are generally considered as shocks with magnitude less than 3.

Abstract Seismic risk is calculated by means of recurrence periods, obtained from least squares relations between number of earthquakes and magnitude. This method is described and applied to Fennoscandia. The results, summarized in tabular form, give the seismic risk for 54 regions, each comprising 2° in latitude and 2° in longitude, and for the ...

Multi-scale seismicity model for seismic risk
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1997AbstractFor a general use of the frequency-magnitude (FM) relation in seismic risk assessment, we formulate a multi-scale approach that relies on the hypothesis that only the ensemble of events that are geometrically small, compared with the elements of the seismotectonic regionalization, can be described by a log-linear FM relation.

The irregularity and long time intervals between earthquakes are factors contributing to reduced awareness about earthquake risks among the public and government officials and hence to reduced allocation of resources for their mitigation. Moreover, it is not uncommon to see misallocation of resources by non- knowledgeable decision makers and ...

Seismicity, seismotectonics, and seismic risk
2000The spatial distribution of earthquakes The term seismicity was probably used for the first time by Montessus de Ballore in 1906 to describe the distribution of earthquakes and their characteristics within a particular region. The most important aspects of seismicity are given by the geographic distribution of earthquakes' foci, their magnitude ...

Geomorphology and seismic risk
Earth-Science Reviews, 1991Abstract The author analyses the contributions provided by geomorphology in studies suited to the assessment of seismic risk: this is defined as function of the seismic hazard, of the seismic susceptibility, and of the vulnerability. The geomorphological studies applicable to seismic risk assessment can be divided into two sectors: (a) morpho ...

The last 15 years have seen a very rapid increase in the demand for earthquake resistant design of structures not only in the more seismic regions but also in the less earthquake prone areas of northwest Europe, where the engineering profession is being involved in an ever wider range of project types that require earthquake resistant design or ...
