Sequencing Finance for Climate Resilience: Instruments, Institutions and Hong Kong's Role in Mobilising Private Capital in Southeast Asia

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates innovative financing strategies to mobilise private capital for climate adaptation, emphasising Hong Kong's role in advancing efforts across Southeast Asia. Using expert interviews and case studies, it addresses two key questions: which financial instruments can strengthen public–private collaboration, and what best ...

Correlation of the Near-Fault Pulse-like Ground Motion Characteristics with the Vulnerability of Buildings

Buildings
Determining the impact of pulse-type earthquake characteristics on the vulnerability of base-isolated buildings under non-pounding conditions has yielded conflicting results in previous studies.

Effects of Topography on Seismic-Wave Propagation: An Example from Northern Taiwan [PDF]

, 2009
Topography influences ground motion and, in general, increases the amplitude of shaking at mountain tops and ridges, whereas valleys have reduced ground motions, as is observed from data recorded during and after real earthquakes and from numerical ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Overestimation of the earthquake hazard along the Himalaya: constraints in bracketing of medieval earthquakes from paleoseismic studies

Geoscience Letters, 2017
The Himalaya is one of the most seismically active regions of the world. The occurrence of several large magnitude earthquakes viz. 1905 Kangra earthquake (Mw 7.8), 1934 Bihar–Nepal earthquake (Mw 8.2), 1950 Assam earthquake (Mw 8.4), 2005 Kashmir (Mw 7 ...

Performance of Two 18-Story Steel Moment-Frame Buildings in Southern California During Two Large Simulated San Andreas Earthquakes [PDF]

, 2006
Using state-of-the-art computational tools in seismology and structural engineering, validated using data from the Mw=6.7 January 1994 Northridge earthquake, we determine the damage to two 18-story steel moment-frame buildings, one existing and one new ...

Optimal mud pressure design using nonlinear failure criteria for wellbores in shaley sedimentary reservoir

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The present study uses the Modified Mohr‐Coulomb true‐triaxial failure criterion (MMC_TT), which predicts the strength of rock better than the MGC criterion in laboratory true‐triaxial tests to overcome the limitations. Moreover, based on the data from previously published five vertical wells in the Krishna‐Godavari basin (K‐G basin), an empirical ...

Blasting effects of cross‐fault deep‐buried excavation on adjacent existing tunnel stability

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the theoretical analysis of cylindrical wave propagation in a deep rock mass in the fault with a filling layer, the calculation method of peak particle velocity caused by wave propagation in the existing tunnel is established. The viscoelastic characteristics of a rock mass are examined in the analysis.

Preface to the Special Issue on “Taiwan Earthquake Model: Seismic Hazard Assessment and Earthquake Scenario”

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016
With its high strain rate (10-6 - 10-7 per year) acting on the oblique subduction-collision transition zone, seismicity in Taiwan is indicated by frequent small and moderate sized earthquakes, and occasionally some M ~ 7 events.
