In seismic risk assessment, the sources of uncertainty associated with building exposure
modelling have not received as much attention as other components related to hazard and …

A multi-purpose and multi-scale tool for the seismic vulnerability and risk classification of
critical buildings, such as schools, is proposed for pre-and post-event decision-making to …

In the last decades, most efforts to catalog and characterize the built environment for multi-
hazard risk assessment have focused on the exploration of census data, cadastral data sets …

One of the main challenges of large-scale seismic hazard and risk applications is the
