Abstract Earthquake engineering experts, public authorities and general public agree on the idea that the seismic safety and performance of the built environment is a matter of high priority. Moreover, the widespread interest in methodologies which address the assessment and the retrofit of existing constructions reflects the global perception that such constructions are exposed to disproportionate levels of seismic risk. Rational and cost effective interventions on the built environment are therefore needed in order to mitigate such risk and reduce the expected level of losses in future earthquakes. Hence, over the past few years, several standards and guidelines addressing the problem of structural assessment and upgrading have been emerging for the specific case of earthquake loading. In this context, the current chapter presents a review of existing international structural standards and codes that provide specific methodologies for the seismic safety assessment and the strengthening of existing constructions.
