Abstract
The state-of-the-art and practiceof long-term seismicity
Highlights
The interaction between different disciplines that constitute the basis for mitigation of earthquake risk can best be portrayed by the relation that describes seismic risk, which is the preoccupation of decision makers, planners, engineers and politicians alike
Seismic Risk can be defined by the following relation:
Considering that most major urban and industrial developments are spreading into areas of little-known seismicity, and that time rarely allows for the acquisition of adequate data, the engineer is likely to be forced on occasions to step across that hazy borderline of safety by accepting an element of risk over and above what would otherwise have been considered to be normal
Summary
The interaction between different disciplines that constitute the basis for mitigation of earthquake risk can best be portrayed by the relation that describes seismic risk, which is the preoccupation of decision makers, planners, engineers and politicians alike. He should prefer data from reliable long-term datasets that give a far fuller understanding of earthquake hazard because they are based on human experience of earthquakes over a much greater segment of the geological time-scale.
