【 摘 要 】

Cuenca is a city situated in a high-risk seismic zone, vulnerable to earthquakes, in particular the Historical Center is quite vulnerable as defined in a previous seismic vulnerability study carried out by the Seismic Network of the Austro (1999-2002), within the frame of the P-BID 400 project Seismic hazard in Southern Ecuador, vulnerability and seismic risk in the city of Cuenca. The work presented in this paper is an update of the vulnerability study developed and delivered to GAD-Cuenca within the framework of a cooperation agreement. In a first phase the project was limited to the assessment of the seismic vulnerability of the Historical Center of the city applying the capacity building model, providing a fundamental improvement with respect to a previous study carried out within the framework of the P-BID 400 project. The article explains the progress in the methodological approach by enabling to address the seismic vulnerability at territorial scale by employing the Level Two Method of the European RISK-EU project, more specifically the Capacity Spectrum Method. Furthermore, the article presents the general guidelines of the project and the progress made in relation to the typological characterization of the built heritage, modeling and computational implementation of the Capacity Spectrum Method.
