Abstract (EN): Research on seismic safety assessment has been the centre of great interest among the scientific community in recent years. Although the devastating impact of earthquakes on current society should be incentive enough to increase research on seismic safety assessment, the development of more realistic nonlinear mechanical behaviour models and the continuously increasing computation capabilities are paramount factors contributing a great deal to the increase of such interest. The paper will present some of the current trends of scientific research on seismic safety assessment, emphasizing the work currently being developed at FEUP on this domain. The paper will mainly focus studies addressing the seismic behaviour of structures and also different types of methodologies for seismic safety assessment, ranging from more simplified to more complex methods. Reference will also be made to experimental research being currently carried out at FEUP and will serve as support for the development of numerical models simulating the effects of different seismic strengthening techniques.
