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:
