Determination/Measurement/Estimation of Seismic Risks in Buildings


Explanation:
Take your pick.

The determination of seismic risk is the foundation for risk mitigation decision-making, a key step in risk management. Large corporations and other enterprises (e.g., local governments) analyze their 'portfolio' of properties, to determine how to best allocate limited funds for structural strengthening of buildings,

Seismic analysis


Explanation:
Looks to me that this is what you are looking for, you could also say "Seismic structural analysis"

Example sentence(s):
  • Seismic Analysis is a subset of structural analysis and is the calculation of the response of a building (or nonbuilding) structure to earthquakes.
