RISK-TARGETED MAPS FOR SEISMIC DESIGN. A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE STATE-OF-THE-ART
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2017, Vol 62, Issue 1
Abstract
The uniform hazard approach is currently used for almost all seismic design maps enforced worldwide. That being the case, the seismic risk of buildings designed according to uniform hazard values of ground motions parameters cannot be uniform all over the territory, as the slopes of the hazard curves can differ from a site to another. The aim of this study is to present and assess different methodologies concerning risk-targeted seismic design maps and to differentiate the parameters that can influence the overall shape and site-specific values of such maps.
