Geophysical investigations and modeling of seismic response for a seismic microzoning study in Caracas, Venezuela
One of the most important natural hazards that threatens Caracas, the capital city of Venezuela, is the seismic hazard, due to its location in the plate boundary zone between the South America and the Caribbean plates. There is historic evidence for several destructive earthquakes in Caracas since 1641, being the most recent one the 1967 Caracas earthquake. This magnitude 6.5 earthquake which o...
متن کاملCriteria for Seismic Risk Reduction of Earthquake Resistant Buildings
Most of the existing seismic design codes are based on the empirical knowledge accumulated through systematic earthquake damage data collection and their analysis. Required levels of protection and seismic design forces gradually are increased after each series of catastrophic earthquakes particularly in developed countries. Many efforts have been made through experimental and analytical studie...

متن کاملAn Optimization Model for Financial Resource Allocation Towards Seismic Risk Reduction
This paper presents a study on determining the degree of effectiveness of earthquake risk mitigation measures and how to prioritize such efforts in developing countries. In this paper a model is proposed for optimizing funds allocation towards risk reduction measures (building retrofitting) and reconstruction process after potential earthquakes in a regional level. The proposed model seeks opti...
متن کاملGuidance for Seismic Safety Advocates: Mobilizing Support for Seismic Loss Reduction
This guidance for seismic safety advocates on mobilizing public support for enhanced earthquake loss reduction activities starts with the assumption that such advocacy efforts have a lot in common with other attempts at bringing about social change through organized action. Since this is the case, it is possible to draw on several literatures and on empirical examples of other social change-ori...
