Spatiotemporal Change Analysis of Earthquake Emergency Information Based on Microblog Data: A Case Study of the “8.8” Jiuzhaigou Earthquake [PDF]
Information from social media microblogging has been applied to management of emergency situations following disasters. In particular, such blogs contain much information about the public perception of disasters. However, the effective collection and use of disaster information from microblogs still presents a significant challenge.

Earthquake Source Characterization Using 3D Numerical Modeling [PDF]
To understand the physics of earthquakes, it is important to know what happens during individual events. Dissembling the information about the source process from the recorded seismograms is a difficult and non-unique process, as there are severe trade ...

Post-earthquake assessment of moderately damaged reinforced concrete plastic hinges
Modern reinforced concrete buildings are often designed to dissipate energy during strong earthquakes by permitting the controlled formation of plastic hinges. Plastic hinges require assessment of residual capacity in post-earthquake situations. However,
