A Seismic Risk Model for Italy
2016All Italian territory, with the only exception of the island of Sardinia, is subject to seismic events, making this threat a major concern for decision makers in charge for the implementation of risk reduction policies. Seismic risk vary greatly across the country and within single administrative regions.

Large earthquakes could potentially cause extensive property damage, loss of life, and environmental damage as a result of damage to critical facilities. Assessment of seismic risk to critical facilities such as nuclear power plants and chemical plants is not only important from the standpoint of a large capital investment but also because of potential

Uncertainties in Seismic Risk Procedures
Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, 1978Probabilistic and statistical methods are being more widely used in seismic risk analyses. These procedures allow the maximum usage of geologic and seismological input into the evaluation of probable risk levels expected at a site. The seismic parameters used in an analysis must be based upon as complete and accurate a data set as possible and the ...

On Assessment and Disaggregation of Seismic Risk
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2008Abstract Seismic risk presented in terms of the annualized loss is useful to the insurance industry, but it is a very limited contribution to the needs of other risk managers. Other measures can be evaluated readily, such as discretization of the loss curve into short-term, medium-term, and long-term losses, and disaggregation to identify the ...

Seismic risk in historical centers
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2001In the first part the paper outlines the current conceptions relevant to seismic risk for constructions in urban centres analysing seismic hazard, vulnerability and exposure. In the second part there are some details about the vulnerability assessment of ordinary buildings, and about the differences that arise when monumental or historical buildings ...

Seismic Probabilistic Risk Assessment
2016This chapter presents an overview of the seismic probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) for nuclear power plants. First, the basic concept of seismic PRA and its application to continuous improvement of seismic safety of nuclear power plants are explained. Then, the methodology of seismic PRA for nuclear power plants is explained.

Seismic hazard and risk assessment
2011The prediction program in China has provided useful experience and taught many lessons. The most important lesson is that, regardless of its future potential, it is presently impractical to rely on prediction to prevent earthquake disasters. The practical approach is to strengthen the resilience of our built environment based on an assessment of ...

Seismic risk reduction: the role of seismic microzonation
2012In 2007 the Regione Emilia - Romagna issued microzonation regulations that require : 1-for every municipality of the region a geological survey with the goal of identifying the sites susceptible of seismic site effects (level 1); 2- for municipalities belonging to the seismic categories 2 and 3 a microzonation map (level 2) and finally 3- a detailed ...
