Abstract
This paper highlights some of the results regarding the seismic risk and resilience analysis for the residential building stock of Bucharest, obtained within the framework of the COBPEE research project financed by the Romanian National Authority for Scientific Research and Innovation and which was completed in September 2017. The seismic risk metrics are also compared with those from two other recent studies with the same focus. In addition, the issue of economic feasibility of pre-earthquake strengthening of high-rise RC buildings in Bucharest is also analyzed in this study.
