SECA-GM

SECA-GM (Severe Earthquake Consequence Assessment – Global Modeling Method) is a global formulation designed to estimate human and physical consequences of severe earthquakes through a compact, auditable and calibratable mathematical architecture.

How is SECA-GM used?

SECA-GM is used when a severe seismic scenario must be constructed with an explicit global formulation. It integrates magnitude, depth, population, vulnerability calibration and mathematical relationships developed within THEK research.

Workflow

Define the seismic scenario, establish magnitude and depth, select the territorial population, calibrate vulnerability through FVₛ and FVₑ, and obtain human and physical consequence estimates.

Main variables

M: earthquake magnitude. P: earthquake depth. Pop: total population. FVₛ: effective structural vulnerability. FVₑ: event-related vulnerability.

Strategic applications

SECA-GM is designed for severe-scenario planning, territorial calibration and resilience studies.

Planning

Reference scenarios for preparedness and disaster-risk decision-making.

Territorial calibration

Comparison among countries or regions through vulnerability factors adjusted to historical experience and structural conditions.

SECA-GM within the THEK ecosystem

SECA-GM is conceptually connected to the FGET–VRR–NFF framework and to THEK platforms.

Methodological links

FGET supports generation of mathematical forms; VRR supports variable selection and ranking; NFF supports hierarchical formula organization.

Institutional links

Research, documentation and applied tools are connected through hithek.com, report.hithek.com and lab.hithek.com.

Cooperation, licensing and courses

THEK Research Institute welcomes scientific and technical cooperation for the application, validation, development and teaching of SECA-GM. Licensing and specialized training are also available.
