Site effects and soil-structure resonance study in the Kobarid basin (NW Slovenia) using microtremors [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010 The town of Kobarid is located in one of three areas with the highest seismic hazard in Slovenia. It was hit by several 1976–1977 Friuli sequence earthquakes and recently by the 1998 and 2004 Krn Mountains earthquakes which caused damage of intensity up ...

Use of the ESI-2007 scale to evaluate the 2003 Boumerdès earthquake (North Algeria)
Annals of Geophysics, 2016 In this study, we applied the environmental seismic intensity (ESI-2007) scale to a major recent Algerian earthquake. The ESI-2007 scale is an effective tool to assess the seismic hazard and has been applied to onshore earthquakes.

Instrumental Intensity as a Tool for Post-Earthquake Damage Assessment: Validation for the Strong Vrancea Earthquakes of August 1986 and May 1990 [PDF]
Constructii: Journal of Civil Engineering Research, 2011 The frequency-dependent spectrum based seismic intensity, also called instrumental intensity, is calculated basically from the integration of the square values of spectral acceleration ordinates. The values of the instrumental intensity are calibrated to

Reassessment of the historical seismic activity with major impact on S. Miguel Island (Azores) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2003 On account of its tectonic setting, both seismic and volcanic events are frequent in the Azores archipelago. During the historical period earthquakes and seismic swarms of tectonic and/or volcanic origin have struck S.

International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2017 In May 2012 a seismic sequence occurred in Northern Italy that was characterized by two main shocks with a magnitude range between 5.5 and 6. These shocks represent a good case study by which to quantify the monetary losses caused by a moderate ...

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2010 The Wenchuan earthquake of 12 May 2008 in Sichuan Province, China, can be classified as a large-scale event based on the tectonic structures that triggered the earthquake and the effects caused on the human, structural, and natural environment. This paper presents the geotectonic and seismotectonic regime of the earthquake-affected region on the basis
