Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE)

 

SHARE is a Collaborative Project in the Cooperation programme of the Seventh Framework Program (FP7) of the European Commission (EC). SHARE will deliver measurable progress in all steps leading to a harmonized assessment of seismic hazard - in the definition of engineering requirements, in the collection of input data, in procedures for hazard assessment, and in engineering applications. The consortium is working on creation of a unified framework and computational infrastructure for seismic hazard assessment and produce an integrated European probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) model including specific scenario based modeling tools.

 

The results will deliver long-lasting structural impact in areas of societal and economic relevance, they will serve as reference for the Eurocode 8 (EC8) application, and will provide homogeneous input for the correct seismic safety assessment for critical industry, such as the energy infrastructures and the re-insurance sector. SHARE will cover the whole European territroy, including Turkey.
 

SHARE will produce direct outputs for risk assessment, enabling European participation in GEM.
