Geotechnical hazard representation for seismic risk analysis [PDF]

, 2009
Seismic risk analysis, either deterministic or probabilistic, along with the use of a GIS-environment to represent the results, are helpful tools to support the decision making for planning and prioritizing seismic risk management strategies.

Did They Feel It? Legacy Macroseismic Data Illuminates an Engimatic 20th Century Earthquake

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The challenges and the importance of preserving legacy instrumental records of earthquakes are now well‐recognized (e.g., Richards & Hellweg, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1785/0220200053). Seismologists may not be aware of parallel challenges and opportunities with legacy macroseismic data for earthquakes in the United States. For much of the 20th

Back to the Source: Connecting the Seismological Observations of Le Teil Earthquake (Mw 4.9, 2019/11/11, France) to the Local Geology

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The spatial distribution of seismicity in active fault zones depends primarily on the geometry of the fault networks. However, recent advances suggest that seismic activity may also be controlled by the rheology of the geological units surrounding fault zones. In the present work, we use seismological and geological analyses to investigate the

Attenuation of Macroseismic Intensity for Crustal Romanian Earthquakes: Calibrating the Bakun-Wentworth’s Method

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2019
The purpose of the present study is to elaborate a new model of the macroseismic intensity attenuation using all observed intensities data for the crustal earthquakes in Romania and then, based on this relationship, to calibrate the Bakun-Wentworth ...

Paleo‐Earthquake Fingerprints and Along‐Strike Slip Variation of the Silent Mt. Morrone Normal Fault (Central Italy): A Structural‐Geochemical Approach

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract This study provides insights into the tectonic evolution of the normal Mt Morrone Fault System (MMFS) in Central Italy and highlights the utility of multidisciplinary approaches in reconstructing the seismic history of dormant fault systems. The MMFS comprises two parallel normal faults that traverse the western slope of Mt.

Reassessment of the historical seismic activity with major impact on S. Miguel Island (Azores) [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2003
On account of its tectonic setting, both seismic and volcanic events are frequent in the Azores archipelago. During the historical period earthquakes and seismic swarms of tectonic and/or volcanic origin have struck S.

Factor Prioritization in FEMA P‐58 Loss Estimation

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 579-607, February 2025.
In recent decades, probabilistic earthquake risk estimation has evolved significantly, with the FEMA P‐58 methodology emerging as the method of choice for practical seismic risk assessments of buildings. Few studies, however, have examined the level of contribution of the explicitly modeled sources of uncertainty to the estimated losses.

Procedure to estimate maximum ground acceleration from macroseismic intensity rating: application to the Lima, Perú data from the October-3-1974-8.1-Mw earthquake [PDF]

Advances in Geosciences, 2008
Post-disaster reconstruction management of urban areas requires timely information on the ground response microzonation to strong levels of ground shaking to minimize the rebuilt-environment vulnerability to future earthquakes. In this paper, a procedure

The intensity attenuation of Colfiorito and other strong earthquakes: the viewpoint of forecasters and data gatherers

Annals of Geophysics, 2008
This article has been originated by thoughts on previous analyses related to the proba- bilistic treatment of the macroseismic attenuation, from which it turns out that in Italian territory the intensity decay I varies greatly from one region to another,
