Projet pilote de scénario sismique à Quito (Équateur)
A pilot seismic scenario in Quito (Ecuador) : methods and results A pilot seismic scenario project has been carried out in Quito, consisting in the analysis of the consequences of a damaging earthquake in the city. After selecting, on historical and seismotectonic basis, earthquakes that can affect the city, seismic intensities were calculated to estimate damages to buildings and to the city's infrastructures. The technical study has been complem…
