Welcome to the website of the Research Group on Earthquake Engineering 

The high existing seismic hazard is a subject of great social concern that gives rise a strong demand for studies for its analysis and proposal of mitigation measures.

The Research Group on Earthquake Engineering led by Professor Belén Benito comprehensively addresses the seismic risk analysis with a multidisciplinary approach to reach the quantification of the damage expected by future earthquakes. The members of the group develop their activity through the following lines of research:

• Seismic Hazard Assessment and characterization of soil movement.
• Land planning and urban planning in areas of seismic risk.
• Modeling of the deformation of the crust.
• Induced seismicity analysis
• Seismic Risk Assessment.
• Evaluation of exposure and seismic vulnerability applying remote sensing techniques.
