Why does better engineering not always produce safer buildings?
Seismic codes are stronger than ever. Yet in many parts of the world, earthquake losses have not fallen proportionally. The problem is not the engineering. It is whether the engineering reaches the building that actually gets constructed.
This session follows a direct path: starting from that paradox, tracing where seismic safety breaks down in the delivery chain, introducing the Population-Calibrated Seismic Safety framework, and ending with what engineers can actually do differently.
