Structural response under multicomponent earthquakes
Computer-Aided Design, 1984Earthquake motions as felt by structures along three orthgonal directions are, in general, statistically correlated. Here the effect of this correlation on structural response is studied. Assuming the existence of principal axes of excitations, along which the components of motion are uncorrelated, the mean square and design responses are obtained in ...

The 2010 Haiti Earthquake Response
Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 2013This article presents an overview of the mental health response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Discussion includes consideration of complexities that relate to emergency response, mental health and psychosocial response in disasters, long-term planning of systems of care, and the development of safe, effective, and culturally sound mental health ...

OMG Earthquake! Can Twitter Improve Earthquake Response?
Seismological Research Letters, 2010Following the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan, China, earthquake, discussion circulated on the Internet describing how the U.S. Geological Survey's earthquake notification lagged behind firsthand accounts sent through Twitter, a popular Internet-based service for sending and receiving short text messages, referred to as “tweets.” A prominent technology blogger ...

Earthquake response at Grangemouth
Géotechnique, 1993The Grangemouth industrial zone in Scotland is on an area of deep soft clay. Extensive site investigations related to industrial development which included seismic cone testing enabled accurate numerical calculations to be carried out to assess the response of this soft site to earthquake excitation.

Site Response to Vertical Earthquake Motion
Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics IV, 2008Evaluation of ground response is one of the fundamental problems in earthquake geotechnical engineering. Current practice has tended to focus on horizontal earthquake motion and ignore the effect of vertical motion. Because of strong vertical ground motions recorded in recent earthquakes, great concern has arisen over the behavior of vertical motion ...

Project Medishare's Historic Haitian Earthquake Response
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015This article describes the immediate large-scale medical and surgical response of Project Medishare to the 2010 Haitian earthquake. It summarizes the rapid evolution of critical care and trauma capacity in a developing nation after earthquake and discusses the transition from acute trauma treatment to interdisciplinary health care sector building.

Earthquakes, Records, and Nonlinear Responses
Earthquake Spectra, 1998The estimation of MDOF nonlinear structural response given an earth-quake of magnitude M at distance R is studied with respect to issues such as the benefits and harms of (1) first scaling the records, (2) selecting records from the “wrong” magnitude, (3) alternative choices for how to scale the records, and (4) scaling records to a significantly ...

Responsibilities in earthquake prediction
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1976As recently as only a year or two ago, seismologists were still debating among themselves the question of how we should interact with the public when the day finally arrived that scientific predictions of damaging earthquakes would be forthcoming. Whether we're ready or not, that day has suddenly arrived, and some of us are already a bit bloodied ...

Environment and Behavior, 1981
Based on the findings and hypotheses of natural hazard research, a survey of earthquake hazard perception and the adoption of adjustments was carried out among 302 residents of 3 seismic risk zones of the west coast of North America. The study provided 3 lines of evidence for the concept of bounded rationality, namely, a preference for crisis response,
