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

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,

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.

An analytic method for separating local from regional effects on macroseismic intensity
nterpretation of macroseismic data is hazardous, due to its qualitative nature. This, linked with errors in eval- uation,) and the variations of local intensity, makes it difficult to draw valid conclusions.

Factor Prioritization in FEMA P‐58 Loss Estimation
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.

The French macroseismic database SISFRANCE: objectives, resultsand perspectives
To comply with nuclear safety requirements, an in-depth research program for the revision of existing catalogues was initiated back in 1974. The priority of the partners involved in the SISFRANCE project was to establish the most exhaustive documentary ...

The 1356 Basel earthquake: an interdisciplinary revision [PDF]
Within historical times one of the most damaging events in intra-plate Europe was the 1356 Basel earthquake. Given its significance for assessing regional seismic hazard in central Europe, an interdisciplinary project was launched in 2005 to re-explore ...

A correct seismic hazard assessment and intensity-based shake maps of a seismic zone depend on the determination of parameters that emphasize the distribution and the macroseismic intensity attenuation for that seismogenic zone. Due to the reduced number

Traditional unreinforced masonry structures are extremely vulnerable to seismic events, featuring large losses in many countries worldwide. This study focuses on the seismic assessment of a traditional masonry structures located in Faial Island—Azores (Portugal), which was hit by an earthquake of Mw = 6.2 on 9 July 1998. A set of analyses was conducted

Earthquake Environmental Effects (EEEs) are a common occurrence following moderate to strong seismic events. EEEs are described in literary sources even for earthquakes that occurred hundreds of years ago, but their potential for hazard assessment is not
