Abstract

Strong earthquake ground motion can cause destruction of the buildings, and lead to earthquake disasters. Therefore, seismic risk analysis has important practical and social value. Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation is committed to addressing the global seismic risk analysis issues, and to providing scientific support for global social development. This paper explained the main target and functions of GEM and the ways to its tool (OpenQuake software) to make seismic risk analysis. We also introduced the algorithms of seismic risk analysis. At last, we took an example of Iran to calculate the seismic risk distribution based on the seismic hazard all over the country. We can conclude that the southeastern part of Iran has higher seismic risk where may suffer serious loss from earthquake disasters in the next 50 years.
