Seismic risk in Friuli-Venezia giulia: an approach

Seismic risk is defined in this work as the expected damage ratio from possible earthquakes, during t years. The risk associated with the earthquake having afixed occurrence probability in t years is formulated by means of the Damage Probability Matrix. Also, an expression for the total risk from al...

More Information
Summary:Seismic risk is defined in this work as the expected damage ratio from possible earthquakes, during t years. The risk associated with the earthquake having afixed occurrence probability in t years is formulated by means of the Damage Probability Matrix. Also, an expression for the total risk from all probable earthquakes is presented. To evaluate the risks mentioned, determination of the values of the Damage Probability Matrix is carried out statistically. Friuli-Venezia Giulia (NE Italy) is chosen as study region and the above risks are evaluated for t=100 years. Computed risk refers only to the rooms built, before 1976 as no information about new buildings is available. The general picture is in accordance with previous results for the same region.
