History of Seismic Risk Analysis
Abstract eng: Seismic risk is the average loss, or potential or probability of a loss, due to the occurrence of an earthquake, and is the combination of earthquake hazard, assets at risk and vulnerability of the assets to the effects of the earthquake. The history of seismic risk assessment is reviewed and found to be a confluence of seismology, earthquake engineering, probability and other fields over the last 150 years, surrounded by broader social and technological influences. Today seismic risk assessment is well established, although fundamental improvements are still needed.
