	abstract = {<div>This project arose out of the on-going research efforts by the group involving\&nbsp;structural engineering academics at the Universities of Adelaide, Melbourne and\&nbsp;Swinburne with Geoscience Australia experts all working towards seismic risk\&nbsp;reduction in Australia. Most of the research team are actively involved in the\&nbsp;revision to the Australian Earthquake Loads standard (AS1170.4) as well as being\&nbsp;members of the Australian Earthquake Engineering Society which is a Technical\&nbsp;Society of Engineers Australia. The devastating impact of the 2010{\textendash}11\&nbsp;earthquakes in the Christchurch region on the New Zealand economy and\&nbsp;society has further motivated this group to contribute to this CRC{\textquoteright}s aims of risk\&nbsp;reduction for all natural hazards in Australia.\&nbsp;This project addresses the need for an evidence base to inform decision making\&nbsp;on the mitigation of the risk posed by the most vulnerable Australian buildings\&nbsp;subject to earthquakes. While the focus of this project is on buildings, many of\&nbsp;the project outputs will also be relevant for other Australian infrastructure such as\&nbsp;bridges, roads and ports, while at the\&nbsp;same time complementing other {\textquoteleft}Natural\&nbsp;Hazards{\textquoteright} CRC project proposals for severe wind and flood.</div>},
