Increasing Seismic Safety by Combining Engineering Technologies and Seismological Data /
The current state-of-the-art allows seismologists to give statistical estimates of the probability of a large earthquake striking a given region, identifying the areas in which the seismic hazard is the highest. However, the usefulness of these estimates is limited, without information about local s...
