Response to A.J. Kappos' discussion of `Damage scenarios simulation for seismic risk assessment in urban zones'

Abstract:

The authors of the article are in agreement with many of the opinions expressed by Dr. Kappos in its discussion. Nevertheless, the authors made some comment on certain aspects of the mentioned discussion. These comments refer to the: `inherent weakness of the suggested procedure, which although it is essentially based on statistical approach, the actual data used for calibrating the model are very limited'; calibration method; Probabilistic Simulation; and `contribution of the paper to the current state of the art' is `hardy clarified'.
