Seismic intensity assignments for the 2008 Andravida (NW Peloponnese, Greece) strike-slip event (June 8, Mw=6.4) based on the application of the Environmental Seismic Intensity scale (ESI 2007) and the European Macroseismic scale (EMS-98)

Annals of Geophysics, 2014
On June 8, 2008, a strike-slip earthquake (Mw=6.4) was generated NE of the Andravida town (NW Peloponnese, western Greece) due to the activation of the previously unknown western Achaia strike-slip fault zone (WAFZ).

Testing machine learning models for heuristic building damage assessment applied to the Italian Database of Observed Damage (DaDO) [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Assessing or forecasting seismic damage to buildings is an essential issue for earthquake disaster management. In this study, we explore the efficacy of several machine learning models for damage characterization, trained and tested on the database of ...

Considerations on using MCS and EMS-98 macroseismic scales for the intensity assessment of contemporary Italian earthquakes

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2023
AbstractThe concept of macroseismic intensity arose with the purpose of measuring the strength of an earthquake by the effects it causes on buildings, people, and domestic furnishings. From this perspective, buildings can be considered seismic sensors that record the shaking.
