| Abstract: | A look at the evolution of Seismology and Engineering Construction from the mid-1700s until the mid-1900s is presented to understand the main accomplishments achieved. Then, we perspective the new advancements toward future mitigation of earthquake impacts with a clear proposal for sustainability and ecological challenge. We will concentrate on analysing the phase 1755–1950 because not enough attention has been paid recently to this exciting period. Next, we jump to our days to look into a few significant problems that require the involvement of the scientific, technical and political communities. In particular: (i) We will look into the developments Intensity Scales should pursue to reduce uncertainties since more than 20 years have passed since the last upgrade. Today, the information from new events is much more extensive and reliable than in the past. Several examples will be presented to illustrate how the frequency of motion should be included in the main characteristics/categories (Building typologies and Vulnerabilities; Damage Grade; Quantity definition) and how it could be beneficial to add a few more descriptors to the Scale, namely shaking of objects and sloshing of water in recipients. (ii) We will analyse the lines of development to mitigate earthquake impacts, and respond to present and future needs, concentrating on the new scientific results that are changing seismology from a "back-analyst" science (indirect contribution to earthquake engineering) into a more pro-active one, with direct impact to reduce risks, such as the EEWS, and low-cost instrumentation. And adding to earthquake engineering the revolutionising health monitoring, as a precautious indicator of malfunction of structures, and a rapid system for evaluation of post-earthquakes, complemented with the citizen science. Finally, all these ingredients need to be merged into simple recommendations for which only data mining will be able to extract new reliable information. Five Highlights's for the future: MEMS EEWS Performance-based design Field trips Citizen Science All these new developments under the umbrella of Machine Learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
