Comparison of ground motions estimated from prediction equations and from observed damage during the M = 4.6 1983 Liège earthquake (Belgium) [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013
On 8 November 1983 an earthquake of magnitude 4.6 damaged more than 16 000 buildings in the region of Liège (Belgium). The extraordinary damage produced by this earthquake, considering its moderate magnitude, is extremely well documented, giving the ...

A predictive model for household displacement duration after disasters

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 4289-4317, December 2025.
Abstract According to recent Household Pulse Survey data, roughly 1.1% of households were displaced due to disasters in the United States in recent years. Although most households returned relatively quickly, 20% were displaced for longer than 1 month, and 14% had not returned by the time of the survey.

Fire Importance Factor for Existing Urban Bridges According to Italian Guidelines Within a Fire–Seismic Multi-Risk Assessment

open access: yesBuildings
Fire represents a relatively infrequent but potentially severe hazard for bridges, with collapse rates comparable to or exceeding those caused by seismic events. Despite this, fire risk is often neglected in bridge design and assessment, particularly for

Inundation Processes, Barrier Island Breaching, and Structure Impacts During Hurricane Michael (2018)

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract We demonstrate the increased ability to forecast hurricane impacts with a coupled numerical modeling system by simulating ocean waves, water levels, currents, sediment transport, and structural damage to predict inundation, coastal morphological change, and residential building impacts.

Hazus-based seismic vulnerability functions for casualties as a function of SA10

open access: yes
Porter (2009) showed how to tabulate Hazus' seismic vulnerability functions for nonfatal injuries and deaths in terms of common, structure-independent, ground-motion measures. This file offers that tabulation.
