The LESSLOSS Project has come to a successful conclusion. In order to meet the objectives of the project, a large variety of research activities have been carried out by all 46 partners during the three years of the project, including state-of-the-art methodology reviews, data collection, constitutive modelling, analytical modelling, manufacturing of prototypes, laboratory testing, experimental testing, structural monitoing, software development, methodology calibration, loss modelling, and much more. The Publishable Final Activity Report provides a summary of these activities, whilst the 169 deliverables produced during the project can be found here.
One of the main objectives of the project was to describe the current best practice or usual practice in each area investigated. To meet this objective, during the third and final year of the project, the LESSLOSS partners produced a series of 8 Technical Reports addressed to specific Users Communities and Stakeholders. These Technical Reports can be directly downloaded by clicking on the titles below:
2007/01 - Landslides: From Mapping to Loss and Risk Estimation (Editors: G.B. Crosta, P. Frattini)
2007/02 - European Manual for in-situ Assessment of Important Existing Structures (Editor: R. Flesch)
2007/03 - Innovatice Anti-Seismic Systems Users Manual (Editor: M. Forni)
2007/04 - Guidelines for Seismic Vulnerability Reduction in the Urban Environment (Editor: A. Plumier)
2007/05 - Guidelines for Displacement-Based Design of Buildings and Bridges (Editor: M. Fardis)
2007/06 - Probabilistic Methods for Seismic Assessment of Existing Structures (Editor: P.E. Pinto)
2007/07 - Earthquake Disaster Scenario Prediction and Loss Modelling for Urban Areas (Editor: R. Spence)
2007/08 - Prediction of Ground Motion and Loss Scenarios for Selected Infrastructure Systems in European Urban Environments (Editor: E. Faccioli)

LESSLOSS is a European Integrated Project focusing on Risk Mitigation for Earthquakes and Landslides that relies on the active participation of 46 European partners from both academia and industry. The LESSLOSS project addresses research issues on seismic engineering, earthquake risk and impact assessment, landslides monitoring, mapping and management strategies, improved disaster preparedness and mitigation of geotechnical hazards, development of advanced methods for risk assessment, methods of appraising environmental quality and relevant pre-normative research.
The research/innovation effort within the LESSLOSS project comprises a number of different research components, or Sub-Projects, related with landslides monitoring, warning systems, zonation, vulnerability assessment, modelling of losses, seismic isolators, energy dissipation devices, displacement-based design methodologies, etc. The main aim of this web portal is to disseminate information related to each of the following Sub-Projects:
