Intensity assessment from documentary data. Criteria and procedures in the daily practice of seismologists

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1996
A major problem in assessing macroseismic intensity from historical records is the lack of a standardized procedure for processing documentary sources and supplying unequivocal intensity estimates.

Instrumental intensity as a tool for post-earthquake damage assessment: validation for the strong Vrancea earthquakes of August 1986 and May 1990 [PDF]

open access: yes
The frequency-dependent spectrum based seismic intensity, also called instrumental intensity, is calculated basically from the integration of the square values of spectral acceleration ordinates. The values of the instrumental intensity are calibrated to

Ground motion and macroseismic intensities of a seismic event related to geothermal reservoir stimulation below the city of Basel—observations and modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
To stimulate a geothermal reservoir below the city of Basel, Switzerland, fluid was injected in December 2006 at high pressure into a 5 km deep borehole.

Reducing the subjectivity of intensity estimates: the Fuzzy Set approach

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2000
We describe a method for the encoding and the computer analysis of the macroseismic effects deduced from historical sources allowing the complete formalization of the process of seismic intensity assessment.

Determination of geomechanical site effects in France from macroseismic intensities and reliability of macroseismic magnitude of historical events

open access: yesTectonophysics, 2000
Results from a detailed analysis of the French macroseismic database SIRENE96 show that geomechanical site effects (i.e. site effects due to superficial geology) can be statistically detected and quantified from macroseismic data. Our results are used to derive a predictive map of potential site effects in France and to check if site effects induce a ...

Generators of Seismic Events and Losses: Scenario-based Insurance Optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A principal difficulty in insuring catastrophic risks is the insufficiency of disaggregated historical data on the catastrophe losses. The lack of data and complex spatial and dynamic interdependencies between catastrophic events imply the necessity to ...

Macroseismology: the lessons learnt from the 1997/98 Colfiorito seismic sequence

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2008
The seismic sequence of the Umbria-Marche Apennines was a dramatic moment for the population involved; at the same time, it provided a unique occasion for the Italian scientific community and for the national civil protection to assess their respective ...

Use of Macroseismic Intensity Data to Validate a Regionally Adjustable Ground Motion Prediction Model

open access: yesGéosciences, 2019
In low-to-moderate seismicity (intraplate) regions where locally recorded strong motion data are too scare for conventional regression analysis, stochastic simulations based on seismological modelling have often been used to predict ground motions of ...
