Surrogate probabilistic seismic demand modelling of inelastic single‐degree‐of‐freedom systems for efficient earthquake risk applications

open access: yesEarthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2021
This paper proposes surrogate models (or metamodels) mapping the parameters controlling the dynamic behaviour of inelastic single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDoF) systems (i.e., force‐displacement capacity curve, hysteretic behaviour) and the parameters of their

A framework to quantify the effectiveness of earthquake early warning in mitigating seismic risk

open access: yesEarthquake spectra, 2023
Earthquake early warning systems (EEWSs) aim to rapidly detect earthquakes and provide timely alerts, so that users can take protective actions prior to the onset of strong ground shaking.

Earthquake hazard and risk analysis for natural and induced seismicity: towards objective assessments in the face of uncertainty

open access: yesBulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2022
The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires quantification of the risk, for which quantification of the seismic hazard is ...

Earthquake Risk Assessment for Tehran, Iran

open access: yesISPRS Int. J. Geo Inf., 2020
The megacity of Tehran, the capital of Iran, is subjected to a high earthquake risk. Located at the central part of the Alpine–Himalayan seismic belt, Tehran is surrounded by several active faults that show some M7+ historical earthquake records.

A decision‐making methodology for risk‐informed earthquake early warning

open access: yesComput. Aided Civ. Infrastructure Eng., 2021
To maximize the potential of earthquake early warning (EEW) as a credible tool for seismic resilience promotion, it should be combined with next‐generation decision‐support tools that use advanced risk‐based predictions and account for unavoidable ...

Optimal seismic upgrade timing in seaports with increasing throughput demand via real options [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A real options (RO) formulation is proposed for decision-making on the timing to upgrade the seismic performance of existing seaports with increasing throughput demand in earthquake prone areas.

The Need for Cognition on Earthquake Risk in China Based on Psychological Distance Theory

open access: yesComplex, 2020
There is a high need for cognition on earthquake risk to improve the public’s risk knowledge and risk awareness, so that they can make right decisions and take quick actions regarding mitigation measures and adjustments.

Investigating the potential effectiveness of earthquake early warning across Europe

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The viability of earthquake early warning (EEW) in Europe is highly dependent on the magnitude of the ongoing earthquake and the ground-shaking threshold for alert issuance. The potential effectiveness of EEW is highest for Turkey, Italy, and Greece.
