In this paper we are going to assess the seismic behavior of the Faculty of Land Reclamation and Environmental Engineering building to future earthquakes, it carries a significant amount of uncertainty. Firstly, most of this is due to the inability to know precisely the characteristics of future earthquakes, and secondly, simplification of the assumptions used to measure the structural response. The increased sensitivity of humankind to natural disasters is not just due to a shift in the way phenomena occur, but rather to anthropogenic factors, which demand even more than before a relevant study of risk factors and the continuous engagement of experts throughout all fields of activity in the reduction of negative effects earthquakes may cause to the individuals, to the infrastructure or to the environmental conditions. The safety of buildings is one of the key efficiency standards for constructions. Expressed in a quality-like approach, these criteria must be enhanced by quantitative factors.
