Seismic Hazard and Risk Analysis 9a - Introduction to Risk Metrics

Introduction to Seismic Risk Metrics: Understanding Consequence Models
In this first episode of our seismic risk metrics series, we delve into risk calculation, quantification methods, and consequence models. Beginning with Chapter 9 of the related book, we explore how to assess and model risks from ground shaking and its effects on structures. We'll define key concepts such as fragility and vulnerability functions, and discuss binary and continuous outcomes using real-world examples. This foundational episode sets the stage for deeper discussions on fragility and vulnerability in seismic risk analysis.
This video is based on the book “Seismic Hazard and Risk Analysis” by Jack Baker, Brendon Bradley, and Peter Stafford (Cambridge University Press, 2021).
