“…The deterministic scenario has been drawn up on the basis of two reference earthquakes: a) The 1428 earthquake (Eastern Pyrenees) with an epicentral distance of 90 km, a MSK intensity of IX, and a focal depth of 10 km; and b) The 1448 earthquake (Cardedeu in the nor-eastern Iberian coast) with an epicentral distance of 25 km, a MSK intensity of VIII, and a focal depth of 7 km (Susagna and Goula 1999;Secanell et al 2004).…”

“…As a final result of the numerous studies performed for the seismic characterization and microzonation of Barcelona (Secanell et al 1998;Cid 1998;Secanell et al 2004), an analytical formulation for the different 5% damped response spectra corresponding to different soil types was developed by Irizarry et al (2003), allowing to represent reliable demand levels for the deterministic case ( Fig.1).This is the formulation used in this article.

Abstract. In this work, the vulnerability of an unreinforced masonry building, evaluated on the one hand by using the incremental dynamic analysis, and on the other hand by using nine representative non-linear static incremental procedures, is compared. For comparison reasons among the different non-linear static procedures, the obtained incremental dynamic analyses results are used as reference values. The aim of this analysis is to evaluate the applicability and reliability of the diverse non-linear static procedures for unreinforced masonry buildings, and to propose modifications oriented to improve their use in this typology of structures. For this purpose, a fully representative unreinforced masonry building of the dominating building type in the Eixample district of Barcelona, is analyzed. Furthermore, the conditional spectrum approach procedure has been applied with the aim to conveniently define the seismic demand. Regarding the definition of the fragility curves, two different methodologies were used for each non-linear static procedure and incremental dynamic analyzes. Subsequently, the corresponding damage indices as well as the damage curves were calculated and compared for the different considered peak ground acceleration values. The results of this comparison seem to confirm that the damage curves obtained by performing the NSP and by applying the Risk-UE methodology overestimate the damage corresponding to low values of the PGA and underestimate the damage for higher values of the PGA.

A simplified method for vulnerability assessment of dwelling buildings with a statistical approach at a regional scale based on the EMS'98 is proposed. It is presented some applications of this methodology in Catalonia, Spain: (i) tools for generation of damage scenarios for preventive purposes; (ii) simulation of damages of historical earthquakes if they would occur today; and (iii) territory zonation to establish the criteria for activating the different levels of earthquake emergency actions.

Abstract. This paper presents a review of the approaches to the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis as well as discussion regarding the selection of the appropriate methodology of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Use of the deductive approach has been suggested, as well as that the new Serbian seismic hazard maps should be expressed through the values of the peak ground acceleration, having in mind that the new hazard maps for the Republic of Serbia should be compiled in compliance with the recommendations of the Eurocode 8.
