Information on the proposed integrated projects:
- Integrated Seismic Risk Assessment of Important Existing Civil Structures (ISRECS)
- Integration and Networking of Natural Disasters Studies in Europe (EU-MEDIN)

After every large earthquake in any part of the world, field - missions of experts are carried out. Damages are analysed and correlations between damages, structural type, structural materials and quality of workmanship are elaborated. This is done since several decades, resulting in the following fundamental rules. Considering these rules as much as possible will help to reduce the necessary amount of analysis and increase the overall earthquake resistance.
