Fault Displacement Hazard Analysis Based on Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Specific Nuclear Sites

Applied Sciences, 2021
Permanent ground displacements/deformations caused by earthquakes can seriously challenge the safety of the nuclear power plants. The state-of-the-art hazard analysis methods provide a fault displacement hazard curve, i.e., the annual probability of ...

Earthquake hazard characterization by using entropy: application to northern Chilean earthquakes [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
The mechanical description of the seismic cycle has an energetic analogy in terms of statistical physics and the second law of thermodynamics. In this context, an earthquake can be considered a phase transition, where continuous reorganization of ...

Use of systematic evidence maps within the US environmental protection agency (EPA) integrated risk information system (IRIS) program: Advancements to date and looking ahead

Environment International, 2022
Systematic evidence maps (SEMs) are increasingly used to inform decision-making and risk management priority-setting and to serve as problem formulation tools to refine the focus of questions that get addressed in full systematic reviews. Within the U.S.

Impact of Site-Response Characterization on Probabilistic Seismic Hazard in the Po Plain (Italy) [PDF]

, 2023
We present a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for the entire Po Plain sedimentary basin (Italy)—one of the widest Quaternary alluvial basins of Europe, to evaluate the impact of site‐response characterization on hazard estimates.
