The Capacity Spectrum Based Method (CSBM) developed in the framework of the European project Risk-UE has been applied to evaluate the seismic risk for the city of Barcelona, Spain. Accordingly, four damage states are defined for the buildings, the action is expressed in terms of spectral values and the seismic quality of the buildings, that is, their vulnerability, is evaluated by means of capacity spectra. The probabilities of the damage states are obtained considering a lognormal probability distribution. The most relevant seismic risk evaluation results obtained for Barcelona, Spain, are given in the article as scenarios of expected losses. | The Capacity Spectrum Based Method (CSBM) developed in the framework of the European project Risk-UE has been applied to evaluate the seismic risk for the city of Barcelona, Spain.
