DETERMINISTIC EARTHQUAKE SCENARIO FOR THE CITY OF VARNA

SGEM International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference� EXPO Proceedings, 2022
In the present study deterministic earthquake scenarios for the city of Varna - the thirdlargest city in Bulgaria are presented. By deterministic scenario, it is mean a representation of the severity of ground shaking over an urban area, using one or ...

Rapid Damage Scenario Assessment for Earthquake Emergency Management

Seismological Research Letters, 2021
The rapid availability of reliable damage statistics, after the occurrence of a major earthquake, is an essential mitigation strategy to drive and support emergency intervention operations. Unfortunately, the latency in collecting and organizing actual

Earthquake Scenario for the City of Veliko Tarnovo

11th Congress of the Balkan Geophysical Society, 2021
Summary Earthquakes adversely affect large parts of the Earth. Global seismic risk and vulnerability to earthquakes are increasing steadily as urbanization and development occupy more areas that a prone to the effects of strong earthquakes. The territory of Bulgaria represents a typical example of a high seismic risk area in the eastern part of the ...

Earthquake-induced damage scenario simulation

Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment, 2021
Abstract This study estimates the consequences of a scenario earthquake to a city or region using the formulated mathematical model based on multi-criteria decision-making methods like Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Weighted Product Method (WPM).

QuakeIST® earthquake scenario simulator using interdependencies

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2016
Earthquakes are a permanent threat to urban environments worldwide. The communication of the related risk demands accurate damage model simulations and an interactive visualization of results. The aim of this paper is to provide a realistic problem-solving environment for earthquake discussions among decision makers, stakeholders, and the general ...

Earthquake scenarios for the city of Basel

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2001
Abstract Damage scenarios for Basel (Switzerland) are presented, based on a microzonation study and on the distribution of buildings in the different districts of the city. Two reference scenarios are assumed, corresponding to an event with an intensity between VII and VIII and a return period of 475 years, and an event that simulates the 1356 Basel ...

Hazard-consistent earthquake scenarios

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2000
Earthquake-resistant design and seismic analysis often require the earthquake action to be represented in the form of acceleration time-histories. Real accelerograms can be selected based on matching an earthquake scenario, defined by magnitude and distance, and scaled if necessary.

Earthquake triggered landslide–Indian scenario

Journal of the Geological Society of India, 2016
Abstract: Landslide initiation due to earthquake is one of the most prevalent seismic hazard, which claims hundreds of lives in the Himalayan mountainous terrains of India. Number of landslides, maximum distance from the epicentre and total landslide area/volume are correlatable with earthquake magnitudes.

Critical Issues in Earthquake Scenario Loss Modeling

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2016
The assessment of human or economic losses due to single events (scenario) may effectively support decision makers in the development of important risk mitigation actions. The study presented herein sheds light on several problems and limitations in the current practice of scenario loss modeling, such as: the number of simulations required to achieve ...
