Seismic hazard analysis for engineering sites based on the stochastic finite-fault method
Earthquake Science, 2022 Seismic hazard analyses are mainly performed using either deterministic or probabilistic methods. However, there are still some defects in these statistical model-based approaches for regional seismic risk assessment affected by the near-field of large ...

Assessment of the earthquake vulnerability of multi-residential buildings in Slovenia
Acta Geographica Slovenica, 2009 The paper assesses the earthquake vulnerability of multi-residential buildings in Slovenia, although it is limited to the buildings that were built before 1981, in the time when the earthquake building codes were much less elaborated than today.
