Description of the research topic:
Recent earthquakes with high number of casualties and enormous devastation proved that the hazard of natural disasters should not be neglected. Preventive approaches have received greater attention recently. Research in earthquake hazard mitigation has focused on evaluating possible damage scenarios for different magnitude events. Two widely different approaches exist; one considers the effect of previous earthquakes, listing the damaged buildings and casualties. The other offers a method to evaluate possible damages prior to an event. The latter method facilitates prevention by gathering information about the state of the building stock and the expected damages, so the authorities can strengthen the most vulnerable buildings in order to mitigate risk.
The goals of the research are: to present the process of seismic risk evaluation of a town; to integrate local site effects to previously determined seismic hazards; to examine the vulnerability of the built environment considering the existing infrastructure elements; and finally to combine the results and map risk scenarios to aid in the mitigation process.
