Earthquake scenario for the mega‐city of Tehran
Disaster Prevention and Management: An International Journal, 2001Reports on joint efforts by the municipality of Tehran and the scientific body to prepare and implement earthquake reduction policies in the Tehran region, a mega‐city with an approximate population of 10 million people. Focuses specifically on analyzing the seismic vulnerability of the city by considering topography, geology, seismotectonics and ...

Hazard and Risk Scenarios of Landslides Triggered by Earthquakes
2013This study shows, for a landslide prone area, the assessment of the slopes capacity to withstand earthquakes and how triggered mass movements can threaten potentially exposed structures and facilities. As a result a set of spatial representations (i.e., scenarios) of slope performances in a variety of seismic and climatic conditions is given and how ...

Stochastic Modeling of Earthquake Scenarios in Greater Tehran
Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2011Tehran, the capital of Iran, with millions of inhabitants, has been affected several times by historical and recent earthquakes that confirm the importance of seismic hazard assessment for the area. The main objective of this article is to present a probabilistic procedure to construct time series compatible with the source-path and site reflecting the

Probabilistic earthquake scenarios of a historical area in the town of Amatrice
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020This research aims at studying the effects induced by the seismic sequence occurred in 2016 in the Central Italy. The mainshock recorded, which had a moment magnitude of 6.0, caused substantial damages to several historical centres of different Italian regions.

An evaluation of an earthquake scenario for a pyroprocessed waste repository
Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2013Abstract Nuclide release and transport from a hypothetical pyroprocessed waste repository into the geosphere and biosphere through various disruptive events under an earthquake scenario after the closure of a repository were studied. Four possible cases are investigated as disruptive events and illustrated through this study: an increase in the ...

Annualized and Scenario Earthquake Loss Estimations for California
Earthquake Spectra, 2013We update annualized and scenario earthquake loss estimations for California using HAZUS, a loss estimation tool developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and evaluate the effects of changes in input ground motions over the last decade on estimated earthquake losses.

Earthquake shaking scenarios for the metropolitan area of Lisbon
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2008In this study, we simulate and compare ground motion shaking in the city of Lisbon and surrounding counties (metropolitan area of Lisbon (MAL)), using two possible earthquake models: the onshore source area of Lower Tagus Valley, M5.7 and M4.7 and the offshore source area, Marques de Pombal Fault, M7.6, one of the possible source of the 1755 Lisbon ...

Ground motion for scenario earthquakes at Guwahati city
Acta Geodaetica et Geophysica Hungarica, 2011In this article, stochastic finite-fault simulation combined with site response analysis is used to understand the spatial distribution of ground motion in Guwahati city due to three damaging earthquakes. The rock level ground motion for the scenario earthquakes is generated based on the stochastic finite-fault methodology.
