European network on seismic risk, vulnerability and earthquake scenarios

Objectif


Foreseen Results

Since the main aim of this network is to bring together different scientists from different countries to find a common language and harmonize their research activities towards the common objective of seismic risk mitigation, some deliverables related to such activities are expected, such as reports on workshops, including description of the various research activities and of the efforts of harmonization. Moreover, the common experience will be collected into guidelines with recommended procedure for seismic risk and earthquake scenario evaluations.
The awful impact on public health from major earthquakes has been emphasized by some recent earthquakes that occurred in highly populated and technicologically advanced areas (Northridge, USA 1994 and Kobe, Japan 1995). The mitigation of effects is the primary objective of the research activities in the seismological and engineering fields concerning seismic problems. The components that contribute to define seismic risk of a given site are essentially the seismic hazard, i.e. the probability of occurrence of earthquakes, the vulnerability of constructions, i.e. the damageability of a construction when struck by earthquakes, the exposure, in terms of human lives, goods, social and economical activities. The goal of risk mitigation can be achieved only if research results on a wide range of topics and disciplines (seismology, geology, urban planning, structural and geotechnical engineering, transport engineering, social and economical sciences, etc.) are combined together. Another aspect which increases the difficulties in finding a common solution for a seismic mitigation programme, is that each country has its own peculiarities for the numerous aspects involved by seismic problems, such as characteristics of constructions, seismological features of territories, socio-economical conditions, etc.

A big effort of harmonization has been made by the EU to implement the Eurocode 8 and this effort has been locked at with great interest by Central Europe countries, most of them are harmonizing their seismic code with its principles and rules.

The objective of this proposal is the creation of a Network of teams of scientists working on seismic risk with different competencies (engineers, seismologists, geologists, architects, etc) to encourage the interactions between various disciplines, to exchange information, data bases and technologies, to disseminate the results. The Network will comprise 11 partners selected among the most representative institutes in the field of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology from CCE and EU. Due to composite partnership, an optimal exchange of data and technologies can be envisaged during the activities of this network.
