Abstract
A criterion for the estimation of losses of a structure exposed to several hazards is presented. It includes an approach to estimate the probability density function of the total damage that may be generated by the superposition of the effects of several simultaneous hazardous events that can be associated with a main primary event. It considers the probabilistic correlation of damage or failure of a structure due to the combined action of those simultaneous associated hazards. Finally, the intensities and times of occurrence of all relevant events of different natural origin that may significantly contribute to the risk for the structure of interest are taken into account, considering them as independent, with a negligible probability of producing simultaneous groups of significant associated hazardous events.
