About this event

Flavia De Luca, expert in Structural and Earthquake Engineering, presents a webinar on the challenges of assessing seismic vulnerabilities of schools in Nepal and other data-scarce environments.

The webinar will cover an overview of the challenges related to the assessment of seismic vulnerability of schools in data scarce environments with specific focus to the case of Nepal.

A discussion on the different approaches to assess seismic structural vulnerability at different scales will be provided, looking in
