Clustering Macroseismic Fields by Statistical Data Depth Functions

open access: yes, 2018
The macroseismic intensity is an ordinal variable that describes the seismic damage effects of an earthquake. The collection of intensity values recorded at sites of an area hit by an earthquake is called macroseismic field; it constitutes the only information on historical earthquakes for which no instrumental recordings are available. Around the area

Seismic vulnerability assessment of the old city centre of Seixal, Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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 ...

In for a penny: An empirical study of earthquake experience and non‐pharmaceutical intervention effectiveness in the Marche region

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 469-501, June 2026.
Abstract This study investigates whether prior exposure to natural disasters influenced individual compliance with non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), specifically lockdown measures, during the Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Focusing on the Marche region of Italy, which experienced a severe earthquake in 2016, we exploit

Validation of Physics‐Based Simulated Accelerograms for Seismic Fragility Analyses of Italian RC Existing Building Types

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article aims at exploring and validating the use of 3D physics‐based simulated ground motions as seismic input for the derivation of seismic fragility curves based on nonlinear dynamic numerical analyses. Fragility curves are computed for a set of pre‐code (i.e., designed only for vertical loads), reinforced concrete building types representative ...

Seismicity and Seismotectonics in the Cantabrian‐Pyrenean Zone (N Spain) Using a Dense Temporary Network of Broadband Seismic Stations

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Earthquakes in intraplate regions are often scattered and difficult to associate with specific geological structures, requiring detailed surveys to identify active faults. Improving knowledge of local seismicity in these areas is essential for accurate seismic hazard assessment and for safe planning of economic activities that could affect ...

Macroseismic intensity evaluation with the <<Fuzzy Sets Logic>>

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1995
The use of a macroseismic scale often requires subjective choices and judgments which may produce inhomogeneities and biases in the resulting intensities.

Investigation of the Relationship of Earthquakes and Underground Waste Disposal in The El Dorado Area, Arkansas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
From December, 1983 to September, 1989 twelve small earthquakes were recorded for the El Dorado, Arkansas area. Magnitudes of these earthquakes were well below damaging levels.

Reassessment of intensity estimates from vulnerability and damage distributions: the 2011 Lorca earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper presents a reassessment of the seismic intensity estimated for the 2011 Lorca (southeastern Spain) earthquake based on detailed vulnerability data and its comparison with the observed damage.

National‐scale Mapping of the Expected Earthquake Magnitude for Soil Liquefaction Triggering Analyses in Italy

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
This paper introduces a procedure to estimate moment magnitude (MW) in earthquake‐induced soil liquefaction probabilistic risk assessment. The method is based on using the historical seismicity modelled with a truncated Gutenberg‐Richter (G‐R) relation, jointly with an empirical model linking the MW to the maximum source‐to‐site distance at which soil ...
