Post-Earthquake Casualty Transport Optimization
Journal of Transportation and Logistics, 2022 Disasters are one of the deadliest problems faced by humans in their struggle to survive in nature throughout history. This study was carried out for the optimization of the casualty transport process after the earthquake, which is one of the most ...

Optimization of the seismic response of bridges using variable‐width joints
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 111-127, January 2023., 2023 Abstract An aspect of seismic design of bridges that has hardly received proper attention so far is the appropriate selection of joint gaps. End gaps define the boundary conditions of the bridge and affect its dynamic response; their proper design can lead to an improved structural performance under dynamic actions. The idea of the ‘Dynamic Intelligent

Analisis Numerik Pengaruh Beban Hujan dan Gempa pada Stabilitas Lereng Tanah Tak Jenuh
Jurnal Teknik SipilRain and earthquake affect the stability of the slope. Rain results in infiltration on the slope which causes a decrease in negative pore water pressure on the slope and increases the groundwater level.

Relative Tsunami Hazard From Segments of Cascadia Subduction Zone For Mw 7.5–9.2 Earthquakes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Tsunamis from earthquakes of various magnitudes have affected Cascadia in the past. Simulations of Mw 7.5–9.2 earthquake constrained by earthquake rupture physics and geodetic locking models show that Mw ≥ 8.5 events initiating in the middle segments of ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 164-182, January 2023., 2023 Abstract The seismic performance of integral abutment bridges (IABs) is affected by the interaction with the surrounding soil, and specifically by the development of interaction forces in the embankment‐abutment and soil‐piles systems. In principle, these effects could be evaluated by means of highly demanding numerical computations that, however, can ...

An alternative scenario for earthquake prediction experiments [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1991 b Current earthquake prediction experiments investigate behaviour before potentially large earthquakes. There is some evidence that comparatively small typical events in isolated swarms of earthquakes may have precursory behaviour similar to that before much larger earthquakes in more complicated areas of seismicity.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 183-203, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Estimates of the earthquake ground motion intensity over a geographical area have multiple uses, that is, emergency management, civil protection and seismic fragility assessment. In particular, with reference to fragility assessment, it is of interest to have estimates of the values of different ground‐motion intensity measures in order to ...

UAV photogrammetry in the post-earthquake scenario: case studies in L'Aquila
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2017 The main advantage of using the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry in a post-earthquake scenario is the ability to completely document the state of the structures and infrastructures, damaged by the earthquake, ensuring the safety of all ...
