Abstract

A new methodology for assessment seismic risk of the territory cities of Armenia with a population of up to 50 000 people was developed. The methodology assesses the most important components of the city’s seismic risk: damage of buildings, engineering and transport infrastructure, human and material losses, the risk of some secondary consequences of an earthquake, etc. The methodology widely uses statistical data on the consequences of the 1988 Spitak earthquake and analysis of the causes of these consequences. This article presents the main features of this methodology, which increase the reliability of the evaluation results of especially poorly constructed buildings. A large place is also given to the factual data on the vulnerability of buildings and lifelines, which can be useful in assessing seismic risk in the territories of cities of Armenia and other countries. Examples of evaluating the various risk components obtained as a result of applying the developed technique are presented.

亚美尼亚城市地震风险评估新方法的主要特点

摘要

开发了一种评估人口最多为5万人的亚美尼亚领土城市地震风险的新方法。该方法评估了城市地震风险的最重要组成部分：建筑物，工程和运输基础设施的破坏，人员和物质损失，地震的一些次要后果的风险等。该方法广泛使用了有关地震后果的统计数据。 1988年Spitak地震并分析了这些后果的原因。本文介绍了此方法的主要特征，这些特征增加了特别糟糕的建筑评估结果的可靠性。关于建筑物和生命线的脆弱性的事实数据也占很大的比重，这对于评估亚美尼亚和其他国家/地区城市的地震风险很有用。给出了评估由于应用开发的技术而获得的各种风险成分的示例。
