Накратко на български

Методите за оценка на сеизмичния риск се изследват, за да се намали уязвимостта на сградите при земетресения. Това помага за ограничаване на човешките жертви и икономическите загуби, които застрашават устойчивото развитие на целите държави.

Keeping and Increasing Resilience Opportunities and Sustainability of communities against earthquakes

Earthquake related catastrophes are still a heavy toll that society is paying with certain frequency. This risk mainly comes from the damage to civil structures. Its extreme consequence for mankind is the collapse of structures since this leads to the loss of human lives. Not to mention that economical losses can reach the point of affecting the sustainable development of entire countries. Such socio-economical setbacks trigger poverty, inequality, casualties amongst many other negative consequences. In this respect, due to the world population growth, which exhibit higher rates in low-income regions, in a short time, there will hardly be a place where a moderate- to high-magnitude earthquake can occur without affecting society. For all these reasons, the effect of the ground motions on the performance of civil structures has been an important subject for researchers worldwide. KaIROS project focuses on enhancing current methodologies to mitigating the effects produced earthquake disasters. The main purpose is to provide beyond-state-of-the-art approaches to reduce seismic risk worldwide. The key to reducing seismic risk is decreasing the vulnerability of existing structures and providing new insights to improve the design of new ones. This can be achieved by proposing new strategies to augment the predictability of risk assessment methodologies.

Цел на проекта

KaIROS proposal focuses on earthquake disasters; its main purpose is to provide beyond-state-of-the-art approaches to reduce seismic risk worldwide. That is, keeping and increasing the opportunities for resilience and the sustainability of communities against earthquakes. The key to reducing seismic risk is decreasing the vulnerability of existing structures and providing new insights to improve the design of new structures. Thus, main specific goals and modules are inventory, assessment, strengthening and regulations. Each module embodies state-of-the-art knowledge and new advances to form a robust and efficient tool for risk assessment. Concerning inventory, a new comprehensive BTM will include the most relevant building types around the world. The assessment tool will be based on fully probabilistic Incremental dynamic analysis of realistic structural models subjected to realistic seismic actions, so that the simulation results approach real outcomes. Thus, an innovative outcome of KaIROS is that it will provide probabilistic damage curves for the enhanced BTM. Specific measures related to reinforcement and/or to protection devices will be analyzed within the Strengthening module. Concerning Regulations, the main contributions will be associated with specific recommendations for strengthening, retrofitting and designing buildings. In addition, simplified coefficients allowing considering the directionality and weakening effects in the expected physical damage will be developed. KaIROS is sensitive to the gender dimension of natural disasters and a special module will investigate this issue. An open access soft-ware that can be used to assess the expected damage at urban level by considering several structural typologies and to perform cost-benefit analyses of strengthening measures, amongst many other possibilities, will be created and promoted. Special attention will be devoted to dissemination so that policy-makers and stakeholders can benefit from KaIROS.
