Bucharest suffered on repeated occasions strong damages as a result of the Vrancea intermediate-depth earthquakes, located in a confined isolated focal volume beneath the Eastern Carpathians Arc bend. The particular seismic energy radiation and the seismic cycle in Vrancea focus, characterized by 2–3 major shocks (M w > 7.0) per century, lead to a high level of the seismic risk in Bucharest.
