Application of association rules to determine building typological classes for seismic damage predictions at regional scale. The case study of Basel [PDF]
Assessing seismic vulnerability at large scales requires accurate attribution of individual buildings to more general typological classes that are representative of the seismic behavior of the buildings sharing same attributes. One-by-one evaluation of

Instrumental Intensity as a Tool for Post-Earthquake Damage Assessment: Validation for the Strong Vrancea Earthquakes of August 1986 and May 1990 [PDF]
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

Comparing observed damages and losses with modelled ones using a probabilistic approach: the Lorca 2011 case [PDF]
A loss and damage assessment was performed for the buildings of Lorca, Spain, considering an earthquake hazard scenario with similar characteristics to those of a real event which occurred on May 11th, 2011, in terms of epicentre, depth and magnitude ...

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 ...

Reassessment of the historical seismic activity with major impact on S. Miguel Island (Azores) [PDF]
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.

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

The vulnerability assessment of current buildings by a macroseismic approach derived from the EMS-98 scale [PDF]
A hierarchical family of Damage Probability Matrices (DPM) has been derived in this paper from the ones implicitly contained in the EMS-98 Macroseismic Scale for 6 vulnerability classes. To this aim the linguistic definitions provided by the scale, and

The Mediatory Role of Maladaptive Schema Modes Between Parental Care and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury [PDF]
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is being increasingly recognised as a behaviour of significant clinical importance. Yet, there remains uncertainty regarding the underlying mechanisms of NSSI.

Seismic vulnerability assessment of the old city centre of Seixal, Portugal [PDF]
The seismic vulnerability assessment of old traditional masonry building stocks, in a seismic risk mitigation perspective, is truly essential not only for buildings with recognized historical and patrimonial value, but also, in relation to regular ...

Seismic vulnerability of dwellings at Sete Cidades Volcano (S. Miguel Island, Azores) [PDF]
Since the settlement of S. Miguel Island (Azores), in the XV century, several earthquakes caused important human losses and severe damages on the island.
