“…Ecuador is situated within the Pacific Ring of Fire; therefore, it is a country with a high seismic risk [65][66][67]. The prominent phenomenon occurs in the subduction zone of the easternmost area of the Pacific Ocean, caused by the oceanic Nazca Plate subducting below the South American and Caribbean continental plates (Figure 1).…”

The current study is based on the analysis and adaptation of a Federal Emergency Management Agency guide, FEMA P-1000, from the USA to improve school safety against natural hazards by applying the guide to the infrastructure of Ecuadorian schools, focusing primarily on seismic risk. By considering the technical foundations of structuring and managing disasters in buildings for school use, society will be provided with a practical procedure to recognize those aspects that need immediate attention as part of proper risk management. Here, a variety of parameters are involved in the proposed methodology of the given guide from FEMA combined with the national construction standards and regulations. The characteristics of nearby geological faults and structural and nonstructural vulnerability levels, amongst others, were also considered to allow for a detailed evaluation and a subsequent seismic risk categorization. Finally, the global risk is determined for the studied institutions of Sangolquí in the Valley of Los Chillos, within the Interandean Depression in central Ecuador.

“…(i) the description of the design and materials, including foundation systems, and (ii) the assessment of the actual condition of the structures. These uncertainties are all the more critical in seismic prone regions because of the possible effects of cumulative seismic damage (e.g., Perrault et al, 2020).…”

In this study, accelerometric data from seven Japanese buildings under long-term monitoring were analysed to explore the variability of the buildings’ co-seismic response over time and its within- and between-building components, using co-seismic capacity curves developed in acceleration-displacement-response-spectrum format. The data include the 2011 Tohoku Mw9.1 earthquake, which caused building damage of different levels of severity, and the time-varying actual capacity curves were analysed considering earthquakes before and after 2011. We observed that the initial slope of the capacity curves reflects the amount of damage. The between-building and within-building components of the variability are discussed by comparing a single building and several buildings in the same class for several earthquakes. Finally, the epistemic uncertainty of seismic risk assessment studies is discussed in relation to the selection of a generic capacity model for all buildings in a single class.
