South American Earthquake Snapshot

In seismically active Chile the superior codes, enforcement, and workmanship properly account for the frequency of large earthquakes. Buildings in Argentina and Brazil, while more vulnerable to ground shaking than those in Chile, are also well-designed. The KCC South America Earthquake Model captures the unique building inventories and earthquake vulnerabilities for each country.
