title = "Development of a seismic damage and loss scenario for contemporary and historical buildings in Thessaloniki, Greece",
abstract = "The methodologies used in Greece for estimating direct losses in both reinforced concrete (R/C) and masonry buildings (also including monuments) are summarised, the critical issue of data collection is addressed, and practical solutions that have been tried are discussed. The development of a seismic risk scenario for contemporary and historical buildings in Thessaloniki is then presented and some key results are given, including the expected geographical distribution of building damage (due to the scenario earthquake) in the municipality of Thessaloniki; damage is described both in structural and in economic terms.",

note = "Funding Information: Most of the work reported in this paper was carried out by the writers within the framework of the RISK-UE project, funded by the European Commission (Contract: EVK4-CT-2000-00014). Part of the dynamic time-history analyses of R/C buildings was carried out after the end of the RISK-UE project, within the frame of a nationally funded (by the General Secretariat of Research and Technology of Greece) project, ARISTION (2003–2007), concerning the vulnerability of the building stock of R/C and masonry buildings in Greece, and the development of seismic retrofit techniques using new materials.
