International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2017
This paper deals with seismic risk on the Croatian territory, especially since population growth in risk-prone areas increases the potential loss due to an earthquake. The net effects of such urbanization factors are examined through the use of simulation models that estimate building inventory under possible seismic hazard expressed with peak ground ...

THE USE OF SEISMIC RISK MAPS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEISMIC RISK REDUCTION PROGRAMS
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019Mapping seismic risk at the territorial scale is a key process in earthquake-prone countries since it allows to understand the spatial distribution of risk and its quantification in economic terms. Seismic risk maps can be used by governments to outline short-, mid- or long-terms risk mitigation and/or transfer actions. The present contribution aims to

Seismic Hazard vs. Seismic Risk
Seismological Research Letters, 2009The world is full of uncertainties, ranging from climate change, financial markets, natural disasters, terror attacks, and personal health to the measurements of the most fundamental elements of all: time and space. Dealing with uncertainty is a given in life, and any decision is always made under a certain degree of uncertainty.

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.

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 ...

Tectonophysics, 1979
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.
