Abstract: | The impact of earthquakes in urban centers prone to disastrous earthquakes necessitates the analysis of associated risk for
rational formulation of contingency plans and mitigation strategies. In urban centers, the seismic risk is best quantified
and portrayed through the preparation of “Earthquake Damage and Loss Scenarios.” The components of such scenarios are the
assessment of the hazard, inventories and the vulnerabilities of elements at risk. For the development of the earthquake risk
scenario in Istanbul, two independent approaches, one based on intensities and the second on spectral displacements, are utilized.
This paper will present the important features of a comprehensive study, highlight the methodology, discuss the results and
provide insights to future developments. |
