Seismic vulnerability and risk analysis of the old building stock at urban scale: application to a neighbourhood in Lisbon
TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the seismic vulnerability assessment and risk analysis of the old building stock, with application to a neighbourhood in Lisbon, including three frequent building typologies in Portugal, i.e. stone masonry, placa and RC buildings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ground motion scenarios consistent with probabilistic seismic hazard disaggregation analysis. Application to Mainland Portugal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a 4D disaggregation analysis of the seismic hazard for the mainland Portugal and showed that modal scenarios reproduce hazard target values in each site with great accuracy enabling the applications derived from those scenarios (e.g. loss evaluation) to be associated to a hazard level exceedance probability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficiency and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Seismic Strengthening Techniques for Old Residential Buildings in Lisbon
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a study on the techno-economic efficiency of seismic strengthening techniques for old residential buildings, with application to construction typologies in Lisbon (stone masonry) with respect to seismic strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of earthquake losses in Portuguese residential building stock
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the evolution of the expected earthquake losses in different Portuguese regions in order to determine whether the natural regeneration of buildings could contribute to the mitigation of seismic risk, although the building exposure has increased over time.
Seismic vulnerability: from building evaluation to a typology generalization
TL;DR: In this article, a structural analysis of individual buildings belonging to the same typology is presented to obtain the seismic vulnerability of some classes of residential buildings existing in mainland Portugal, and the analysis of the viability of seismic risk mitigation and taking into account retrofitting costs is presented.
