Macroseismic intensity-based catalogue of earthquakes in Ecuador
Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2022 Earthquake magnitude catalogues and peak ground acceleration (PGA) maps for Ecuador may be found in several studies, however, there are rare works on the characterisation of the epicentral macroseismic intensities associated with earthquakes.

Integrating macroseismic intensity distributions with a probabilistic approach: an application in Italy [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 The geographic distribution of earthquake effects quantified in terms of macroseismic intensities, the so-called macroseismic field, provides basic information for several applications including source characterization of pre-instrumental earthquakes and

Macroseismic intensity attenuation models calibrated in Mw for Italy
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2023 This study aims at developing new macroseismic intensity attenuation models valid for Italy by exploiting the most updated macroseismic dataset and earthquakes catalogue, as well as the information obtained from a critical analysis of the most recent ...

Relationships between ground motion parameters and macroseismic intensity for Italy [PDF]
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2020 The relation between macroseismic intensity and ground shaking makes it possible to transform instrumental Ground Motion Parameters (GMPs) in macroseismic intensity and vice versa, and is therefore useful for making comparisons between estimates of ...

Comparison of vulnerabilities in typical bridges using macroseismic intensity scales
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022 The macroseismic intensity scale in different regions is extensively assessed in the vulnerability assessment of building structures and is rarely used to quantify the damage characteristics of group bridges. To more accurately examine the differences in

Inferring the depth of pre-instrumental earthquakes from macroseismic intensity data: a case-history from Northern Italy. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Determining the hypocentral depth of pre-instrumental earthquakes is a long-standing geophysical issue that still awaits to be elucidated. Using very well documented recent earthquakes we found that the depth of crustal and upper-mantle events correlates

Machine learning for prompt estimation of macroseismic intensity from seismometric data in Italy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAfter an earthquake, it is crucial to rapidly and accurately estimate macroseismic intensity to guide rescue operations and assess potential damage. The Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg intensity scale is used to qualitatively assess the ground shaking based on ...

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

Considerations on the assessment of macroseismic intensity
Annals of Geophysics, 1995 Following a brief overview on the main characteristics of MCS (1930; the most employed in Italy), MSK (1981) and EMS (1992) macroseismic scales, considerations on their validity to underline the severity of damage on buildings are reported and discussed.
