Design and evaluation of earthquake risk reduction measures in unplanned urban areas

Research Output

Unplanned urbanization is an increasing trend worldwide and usually the built environment in such areas is exposed to various natural hazards, such as earthquakes, floods, landslides etc. Considering the severe earthquake-induced damages in unplanned urban areas, in the present paper, an earthquake risk reduction measure, which is applicable in shallow foundations on liquefiable soils is presented and applied for a typical structure. The predicted liquefaction-induced settlements of the foundation system, which affect the overall structural performance, are evaluated under a cost-benefit framework and useful conclusions about the applicability and associated cost of the method are drawn.
