Comment on Sousa, M. L. and Costa , A. C.," Ground motion scenarios consistent with probabilistic seismic hazard disaggregation analysis. Application to Mainland Portugal"
Disaggregation of the seismic hazard has become a popular technique to convey information on the main sources contributing to the hazard at a particular site. Recently published work adopts geographic disaggregation analysis of seismic hazard as a tool to identify dominant rupture scenarios for municipalities in Mainland Portugal. The authors conclude that the seismic hazard in South and Central Portugal is dominated by the seismicity that takes place offshore, around 70km WSW of Cape S. Vicente, both for the return periods of 475 years and 975 years. Whilst recognizing the merits of the approach taken and the utility of the tools developed, we take issue with this last conclusion.We consider that the proposed disaggregation returns a picture of the biases in the hazard analysis, more than any real feature of the distribution of relevant seismogenic sources.

Apreciação do risco sísmico em Lisboa
Ao longo da sua história, a cidade de Lisboa tem sofrido os efeitos devastadores de diversos sismos que foram responsáveis por danos e perdas relevantes no seu parque edificado e seus habitantes. Os objectivos do presente artigo englobam a identificação, a análise e a avaliação do risco sísmico deste concelho, cumprindo-se, desta forma, algumas das etapas do processo de gestão do risco. Efectuou-se a análise de risco para uma perigosidade sísmica regida por mais do que um cenário probabilístico de ocorrência de sismos. Para o efeito, caracterizou-se a perigosidade sísmica das 53 freguesias de Lisboa, considerando dois cenários de ocorrência construídos sobre os mesmos pressupostos em que se fundamentou a acção sísmica que serviu de base ao Anexo Nacional do Eurocódigo 8. Avaliou-se ainda a exposição do parque habitacional e habitantes deste concelho, classificou-se e caracterizou-se a vulnerabilidade sísmica dos elementos expostos, traçaram-se as curvas de risco sísmico para a cidade de Lisboa e estimaram-se os valores esperados anuais das perdas económicas e sociais nas freguesias desta cidade. Da análise efectuada ressalta que as perdas totais são condicionadas essencialmente pelo cenário de acção sísmica próximo, que as freguesias mais antigas são aquelas em que o risco relativo esperado anual é mais elevado e que as freguesias responsáveis pelos maiores valores de risco absoluto são as que apresentam a vulnerabilidade sísmica mais elevada e os maiores valores de exposição.A apreciação do risco sísmico efectuada para Lisboa permite concluir que o risco de morte anual devido a sismos a que os habitantes desta cidade estão expostos se situa na zona ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable).

Evaluation of seismic risk and mitigation strategies for the existing building stock: application of LNECloss to the metropolitan area of Lisbon
Decisions to mitigate seismic risk require a consistent approach to evaluate the effects of future earthquakes on population, on civil engineering structures and infrastructures. The mathematical and probabilistic methods that are the support to those approaches are generally called Risk Analysis; in the particular case of seismic events and mitigation strategies it will be named Seismic Risk and Mitigation Analysis, SRMA. The paper will address the subject of estimating the seismic risk and evaluate mitigation strategies for the existing building stock of the metropolitan area of Lisbon by describing the methods and showing preliminary results obtained with LNECloss numerical tool. Even though such a sophisticated tool needs validation on some parameters to become more reliable, it is shown that it is possible to compare results of different mitigation strategies.

Monitoring historica lmasonry structures with operational modal analysis: Two case studies
The paper addresses two complex case studies of modal and structural identification of monuments in Portugal: the Clock Tower of Mogadouro and the Church of Jero´nimos Monastery, in Lisbon. These are being monitored by University of Minho with vibration, temperature and relative air humidity sensors. Operational modal analysis is being used to estimate the modal parameters, followed by statistical analysis to evaluate the environmental effects on the dynamic response. The aim is to explore damage assessment in masonry structures at an early stage by vibration signatures, as a part of a health monitoring process that helps in the preservation of historical constructions. The paper presents the necessary preliminary dynamic analysis steps before the monitoring task, which includes installation of the monitoring system, system identification and subsequent FE model updating analysis, automatic modal identification and investigation of the influence of the environment on the identified modal parameters.

Tuned liquid dampers para redução de vibrações em edifícios
A utilização de dispositivos de dissipação de energia é atualmente vista como uma forma eficiente para proteger estruturas contra ações sísmicas. Um número considerável deste tipo de dispositivos tem vindo a ser instalados um pouco por todo o mundo. Muito recentemente dispositivos do tipo Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLD) tem despertado a atenção da comunidade científica internacional como forma simples mas eficaz para reduzir a resposta de edifícios quando sujeitos a ações dinâmicas.Os TLDs são tanques com água, com relações entre comprimento e altura de água tais que a sua frequência natural quase que se ajusta à frequência natural da estrutura cuja amplitude se pretende mitigar. A energia de vibração do edifício é transferida para a água em movimento (sloshing) onde se dissipa. Os princípios básicos de funcionamento são semelhantes aos observados para os Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs), com a vantagem da instalação ser muito mais fácil e económica. Tanto TLDs como TMDs apresentam bom desempenho para estruturas flexíveis, de frequências naturais pouco elevadas.Em Portugal, devido principalmente à reduzida altura das construções, este tipo de dispositivos não é muito conhecido ou utilizado. Não obstante isso as construções Portuguesas modernas tem uma tendência natural para se tornarem mais flexíveis sendo portanto previsível que o uso de TLDs se torne uma boa opção para redução dos deslocamentos horizontais sofridos pelas estruturas, atendendo aos custos reduzidos associados à construção, colocação e manutenção destes dispositivos. O artigo descreve o estudo experimental sobre TLDs iniciado em Bristol (U. Bristol) e em continuação no LNEC, apresentando alguns dos resultados preliminares obtidos.

Damage identification based on vibration measurements applied to masonry structures
The present paper aims to explore damage assessment in the masonry structures at an early stage by vibration measurements. Two replicates of historical constructions were built in virgin state: one arch with 1.5 m span and one shear wall with 1.0 m2. Afterwards, progressive damage was applied and sequential modal identification analysis was performed at each damage stage, aiming to find adequate correspondence between dynamic behavior and internal crack growth. Accelerations and strains in many points were record in the replicates. Eigen frequencies, mode shapes and modal strains were derived from the dynamic measurements. Environmental effects of the temperature and relative humidity on the dynamic response were studied. A first updating process was performed on the results of the undamaged arch to tune a finite element model. Moreover, the tests were repeated with added masses to scale the mode shapes. Finally, a brief analysis of the results of the several damage scenarios are presented in the paper.

Dynamical behaviour of rigid block structures subjected to earthquake motion
This paper studies the dynamic behaviour of rigid-block structures under seismic behaviour. For this purpose, an experimental investigation has been carried out on the rocking response of single blocks, and ensembles of two and three blocks structures. These structures were subjected to three different base motions: free rocking, harmonic and random excitations. The tests were performed at the seismic table of the National Laboratory of Civil Engineering (LNEC) of Portugal.

In-situ assessment of important existing structures
Much work in Earthquake Engineering was devoted to the improvement of earthquake resistant design of new structures. In several years EN 1998 will be the main seismic code for all European countries. But it is well known, that in many large earthquakes older existing structures cause much more casualties and damages than new structures. It is certainly not possible to retrofit all existing structures, but agreement exists, that assessment and retrofit of safety - critical

Seismic hazard disaggregation studies. Application to mainland Portugal
Earthquake scenarios are used in different activity domains like: civil protection disaster preparedness, computing overall seismic losses for a portfolio, or evaluating time histories and ground motion duration to be used in seismic design. However, the choice of an earthquake scenario is often based on deterministic arbitrary assumptions, like the region worst historical event reported. The purpose of this work is to overcome the disadvantages of a deterministic approach, in what concerns the choice of earthquake scenarios in Portugal. For each of the 278 Portuguese counties, a scenario ground motion based on a probabilistic seismic hazard disaggregation analysis is evaluated. Portuguese probabilistic seismic hazard analysis is reviewed in order to perform its disaggregation. Probabilistic seismic hazard was disaggregated considering different spaces of random variables. Bivariate conditional hazard distributions in X-Y (seismic source latitude and longitude) are analyzed, as well as multivariate conditional hazard distributions in M-R-

Shake table tests of a 3-storey irregular RC structure without engineered earthquake resistance
With the purpose of assessing the seismic behaviour of a reinforced concrete building structure non-seismically designed, an experimental study was carried out at the LNEC/Lisbon shake table, within the framework of the European project SPEAR. The tested structure was a simplification of a 3-storey building, irregular in plan, representative of older construction in southern Europe, without engineered earthquake resistance. It was designed for gravity loads alone, using the concrete design code used in Greece between 1954 and 1995, with construction practice and materials commonly used in southern Europe in the early 70

Historical earthquake-resistant timber framing in the mediterranean area
This book presents a selection of the best papers from the HEaRT 2015 conference, held in Lisbon, Portugal, which provided a valuable forum for engineers and architects, researchers and educators to exchange views and findings concerning the technological history, construction features and seismic behavior of historical timber-framed walls in the Mediterranean countries. The topics covered are wide ranging and include historical aspects and examples of the use of timber-framed construction systems in response to earthquakes, such as the gaiola system in Portugal and the Bourbon system in southern Italy; interpretation of the response of timber-framed walls to seismic actions based on calculations and experimental tests; assessment of the effectiveness of repair and strengthening techniques, e.g., using aramid fiber wires or sheets; and modelling analyses. In addition, on the basis of case studies, a methodology is presented that is applicable to diagnosis, strengthening and improvement of seismic performance and is compatible with modern theoretical principles and conservation criteria. It is hoped that, by contributing to the knowledge of this construction technique, the book will help to promote conservation of this important component of Europe

Assessment of the seismic capacity of stone masonry walls with block models
The applications of discrete elements models based on rigid block formulations to the analysis of masonry walls under horizontal out-of-plane loading is simplified block pattern are addressed. Two procedures for creating irregular block systems are presented, one using Voronoi polygons, the other based on a bed and cross joint structure with random deviations. A test problem provides a comparison of various regular and random block patterns, showing their influence on the failure loads. The estimation of manual frequencies of rigid block models, and its application to static pushover analyses, is addressed. An example of application of rigid block model to wall capacity problem is presented.

Earthquake disaster scenario prediction and loss modelling for urban areas
The overall aim of Sub-Project 10 (Earthquake disaster scenario predictions and loss modelling for urban areas) has been to create a tool, based on state-of-the-art loss modelling software, to provide strong, quantified statements about the benefits of a range of possible mitigation actions, in order to support decision-making by urban authorities for seismic risk mitigation strategies. A further larger aim has been to contribute to a seismic risk mitigation policy for future implementation at European level. Among the European cities for which loss estimation studies have been carried out are Istanbul, Lisbon and Thessaloniki, and tools, using GIS mapping, have been developed by research teams in each of these cities; these were made available for further development to examine mitigation strategies within SP10.

European manual for in-situ assessment of important existing structures. LessLoss Sub Project 5-In-situ assessment, monitoring and typification of buildings and infrastructure
Much work in Earthquake Engineering was devoted to the improvement of earthquake resistant design of new structures. One European result is EN 1998, which will be in several years the main seismic code for all European countries. But it is well known, that older existing structures cause in many large earthquakes much more casualties and damages than new structures. It is certainly not possible to retrofit all existing structures, but agreement exists, that assessment and retrofit of safety - critical - structures and lifeline structures must have priority. In September 2004 the European Integrated Research Project LESSLOSS on Risk Mitigation for Earthquakes and Landslides was started. The project will run for three years and comprises 13 Sub-Projects (SP´s). The consortium consists of 46 partners (see http:\\www.lessloss.org). LESSLOSS SP5 is on In-situ Assessment, Monitoring and Typification of buildings and Infrastructure. The project partners of SP5 are ARS, CESI, LNEC, RWTH and VCE. This Sub Project focuses mainly on the assessment of important existing structures and tries to integrate experimental methods into the assessment procedure. The progress of SP5 obtained in the first year is summarized in this paper. Highlights presented by all partners are mentioned and the assessment of Hospital Innsbruck is presented in more detail. The most innovative task of LESSLOSS/ SP5 is Update of vulnerability estimates via monitoring, which was also started in the first year.

Modal analysis from ambient vibration survey of bridges: LNEC experience
In order to study the behavior of bridge structures in relation to traffic, wind and seismic loads, it is extremely important to know their actual dynamic properties (natural frequencies, vibration mode shapes and damping). The experimentally identified dynamic properties of bridge structures are also an effective way to characterize their actual global structural behavior. Whether included in the reception load tests of recently built bridges, before they are opened to the traffic, or as part of the inspection works of bridges already in service, LNEC has performed modal analysis studies based on the results of ambient vibration tests. Some of the studies carried out recently in important bridges are reported in this paper.

Shaping favorable beliefs towards seismic protection through risk communication: A pilot-experience in two Lisbon schools (Portugal).
Communicating science within disaster risk reduction using methods that encourage two-way dialogue between scientists and laypersons is a challenging task. This paper aims at presenting a methodological strategy of communicating risk and non-structural seismic protection measures through participatory approach. Such methodological strategy is part of a pilot experience of risk communication in two schools in Lisbon (Portugal) under the EU project KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements). The efficacy of education for seismic safety is often inhibited by an incomplete understanding of the process by which individuals decide to protect themselves from harm (Becker JS, Paton D,Johnston DM, Ronan KR.

KnowRISK practical guide for mitigation of seismic risk due to non-structural components
Good performance of non-structural elements can be decisive in saving lives and costs when an earthquake strikes. The European project KnowRISK aims to educate and encourage households to take the necessary precautionary measures to protect people, houses, and contents. Preparedness and prevention act on community resilience. Within the KnowRISK project, the idea of a Practical Guide has been conceived suggesting seismic mitigation solutions for non-structural components to non-experts stakeholders. It is intended to guide people into the first steps of prevention in a straightforward manner, minimizing or avoiding injuries, damage, and long-term financial consequences. The novelty of the Guide belongs to his philosophy: a path through increasing challenges corresponds to a growing level of safety. The idea is that anyone can mitigate seismic risk in its own environment by adopting simple and low cost measures. The Practical Guide may contribute to increase risk awareness. This kind of initiatives if undertaken at larger scales may also enhance social resilience.

Avaliação de risco sísmico do edifício Sede I da EDP - Ensaios in situ de caracterização dinâmica e do comportamento mecânico da estrutura do edifício relatório final
O presente estudo teve como objetivo a caracterização dinâmica e do comportamento mecânico da estrutura do edifício Sede I da EDP, para uma adequada simulação do seu comportamento sísmico. Neste relatório descrevem-se os ensaios de identificação dinâmica in situ realizados, com base em vibrações ambiente e em vibrações forçadas, com o objetivo de recolher informação sobre as propriedades dinâmicas da estrutura como um todo e das suas lajes dos pisos elevados em particular. Foi efetuado o registo e a análise dos sinais de aceleração devido a vibração ambiente, medidos em diversos pontos do edifício, bem como devido a vibrações forçadas impostas num dos pisos enterrados do edifício. São também apresentados e analisados os ensaios de caracterização do comportamento mecânico de componentes estruturais relacionadas com a ligação das lajes mistas dos pisos elevados às paredes dos núcleos resistentes de betão armado do edifício. Estes consistem em ensaios destrutivos de troços de laje mista ligados aos núcleos, por meio de varões selados à parede, e em ensaios de arrancamento desses varões, tendo como objetivo caracterizar os materiais e componentes dos elementos estruturais. Esta informação é essencial para a posterior calibração dos modelos numéricos da estrutura e para uma realista simulação do seu comportamento sísmico, bem como para uma eventual deteção de anomalias estruturais decorrentes de patologias que possam comprometer o desempenho do edifício face à ocorrência de sismos.

Mapas de perigosidade sísmica para Portugal Continental: Uma análise crítica - Parte I
Nos estudos probabilísticos para avaliação da perigosidade sísmica, são estabelecidas zonas de geração sísmica (zonas sismogénicas), representando regiões que partilham as mesmas caraterísticas sismológicas, tectónicas e geológicas e definidas as relações entre a frequência com que aí ocorrem os sismos e as respetivas magnitudes, num dado período de tempo. Em 2006, para o Anexo Nacional do Eurocódigo 8, foram consideradas e caraterizadas 11 zonas Sismogénicas para Portugal continental, adaptadas de estudos previamente elaborados em 1996. Entre 2008 e 2009, no âmbito dos projetos ERSTA e SHARE, foram propostas novas zonas sismogénicas, e estimados os respetivos parâmetros da lei de frequência - magnitude. Estas diferentes propostas resultaram em diferentes mapas de perigosidade sísmica para Portugal continental. A SPES, Sociedade Portuguesa de Engenharia Sísmica, espelhando a inquietude existente na comunidade científica face às diversas expressões da perigosidade sísmica em Portugal, e consciente da necessidade de um consenso perante os agentes decisores, considerou urgente a realização de um estudo criterioso acerca das opções tomadas, nos diferentes estudos, e suas implicações. É nestecontexto que surge este trabalho, que pretende fazer uma análise crítica e comparativa dos resultadosobtidos nos diferentes estudos mencionados e as suas implicações ao nível dos períodos de retorno para sismos de maior magnitude. Numa parte II, serão estudadas as implicações em termos de valores da perigosidade sísmica, para vários períodos de retorno e frequências espetrais.
