Probabilistic and deterministic methods are introduced, along with prediction and characterization of earthquake strong ground motion. Compilation of the inventory of the exposed elements is outlined, together with analytical and empirical methods for the estimation of their fragilities and vulnerabilities. Risk assessment methodologies are covered through several levels of sophistication, along with case studies.
The basic tenets of earthquake risk management are set out and explained, with reference to the reduction of structural fragilities, land-use, regulations, design and construction regulations, and public awareness programs. Finally methods of transferring risk to international reinsurance and capital markets are discussed along with appropriate examples from across the world.
INTRODUCTION
General Terminology: definitions of hazard, vulnerability, fragility, risk, loss
Regional scale and urban scale risk assessments
HAZARD ASSESSMENT AND CHARACTERISATION OF STRONG GROUND MOTION
ELEMENTS AT RISK
Physical elements
Buildings, lifeline networks (electricity, water and waste-water, gas and oil, telecommunication), transportation infrastructures (bridges, road network), essential facilities (schools, hospitals, etc), industrial elements and historical heritage
Social elements
Demographic data and associated socio-economic indicators for vulnerability assessment
Compilation of inventories
Methods to compile inventory databases: Ground surveys, remote sensing techniques, census and owner/operator data, crowd sourcing
PHYSICAL RISK ASSESSMENT
Correlation of ground motion parameters with damage to built environment
Direct approach- Level
Seismological method, given epicentre and magnitude of the event, estimation of casualties
Case application
