Everybody
can
imagine
an ideal
world
Nasa
Earthquakes can
occur in the
place where the
buildings are
located
Buildings are
100% earthquake
resistant
Possibility
of damage in
buildings due to
earthquakes = 0
Ideal world A
Risk occurs at the intersection of hazard and vulnerability
(for everybody except for the experts in earthquake
engineering)
Therefore, seismic
vulnerability = 0.
Seismic risk of
buildings = 0
Buildings are not
100% earthquake
resistant
Seismic risk of buildings = 0
Ideal world B(for everybody except for the experts in seismology )
Seismic
Vulnerability
of the buildings
≠ 0
Earthquakes can
not occur in the
place where the
buildings are
located
Possibility of
damage in
buildings due to
earthquakes
= 0
Ideal world C
A world without economists and
politicians
There are
earthquakes.
Possibility that
earthquakes can
occur
≠ 0
Buildings are not
100% earthquake
resistant
Possibility of
damage in
buildings due
to earthquakes
≠ 0
Real world
Unfortunately, also there are politicians and economists
In the real world there is much work for the
seismologists and engineers.
Seismic vulnerability
of buildings ≠ 0

the earthquake to Mexico city.
Ground motion
The ground motions have different origins; however the ground motions that usually
produced damage in buildings are due to earthquakes.
Hypocenter
Epicenter
Fortunately, every day we know more about
earthquakes
hypocenterEarthquake
We know where usually the earthquakes occur
Epicenters 1900-2009 (Pagani, M. et al, 2011)
95% of earthquakes occur in the interaction of the limits of the tectonic plates.
But by the moment we cannot predict with
certainty:
Where will occur the next earthquake
By the moment we cannot predict with
certainty:
Which characteristics will have the next
earthquake
By the moment we cannot predict with
certainty:
When the next earthquake will be occur

Seismic sourcesfor Barcelona (Secanell et al,
2004)
A seismic source is defined by: I) geometry and; II) seismic data
Seismic sources are sites where:
a) earthquakes have occurred; b) new earthquakes can occur
Seismicity parameters
(Secanell et al, 2004; 2008)
Assignment of seismicity parameters for each seismic source
Attenuation relationship “High” and «Low» (López Casado et al, 2000).

New assessment of seismic risk
78668 cadastral plots (100 %)
71256 built plots (90.6%,100%)
70137 buildings with known typology (89.2%, 98.4%)
69982 buildings with typology and oldness (89.0%,
98.2%, 100%)
58481 buildings with typology, oldness and
censed persons (74.3%, 82.0%, 83.6%)
Data about the buildings of Barcelona

Without considering
regional modifiers of
the vulnerability,
therefore, these results
must be considered as
the minimum damage
expected.
About 85% of the buildings in
this district have a
probability between 0.15 and
0.30 of reach the damage
state 1
About 15 % of the buildings
in this district have a
probability between 0.05 and

Is important to assess the seismic risk of
Barcelona?
Is important to assess the seismic risk of Haiti?
Is convenient to invest resources to do more
research about the assessment of seismic
hazard?
Is convenient to invest resources to do more
research about the assessment of seismic risk?
Highlights
• We cannot avoid the occurrence of new big
earthquakes. However, we can contribute to
reduce the magnitude of the damage due to
future earthquakes.
• But this condition will be possible if we invest
more resources for research and divulgation
