Seismic effect assessment of the southern slope of Greater Caucasus (Azerbaijan) based on the earthquake scenarios: ground parameters and acceleration models

Геофизический журнал, 2019
In this paper, earthquake scenarios parameters were assessed for deterministic seis-mic hazard of the southern slope of Greater Caucasus (Azerbaijan). Historically, there occurred strong earthquakes in the studied region.

Probability and Recurrence of Maximum Magnitude Based on Stochastic Modeling of Internal Fault Geometry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The recognition that relay zones along faults can act as barriers to earthquake propagation implies that rupture size may not be random and earthquakes are constrained by fault geometry. Resolution and observational biases can, however, complicate the integration of actual fault zone geometries into deterministic modeling strategies, thereby ...

Seismic Hazard of Romania: Deterministic Approach

, 2000
The seismic hazard of Romania is estimated in terms of peak-ground motion values— displacement, velocity, design ground acceleration (DGA)—computing complete synthetic seismograms, which are considered to be representative of the different seismogenic ...

Comprehensive Analysis for the Evaluation of Torrential Floods and Slope Stability of River Channels: La China River Area (Colombia)

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Colombia and other tropical regions face a very high threat from torrential floods, which have resulted in over 25,000 deaths in a single event. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive assessment methodology to zone and determine the magnitude of these disasters; therefore, this research aims to help fill this gap.

Seismic hazard assessment of the Shillong Plateau, India

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2018
The Shillong Plateau is an earthquake-prone region in the northeastern India. Based on regional seismotectonic studies, we present here a deterministic seismic hazard assessment (DSHA) and maps of peak horizontal accelerations (PHA) for three largely ...

Development of an open-source platform for calculating losses from earthquakes [PDF]

, 2012
Risk analysis has a critical role in the reduction of casualties and damages due to earthquakes. Recognition of this relation has led to a rapid rise in demand for accurate, reliable and flexible risk assessment numerical tools and software.
