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

Relationships between ground motion parameters and macroseismic intensity for Italy [PDF]
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 ...

A real-time prediction model for macroseismic intensity in China [PDF]
The macroseismic intensity spatial distribution is an important input for most rapid loss modeling and emergency work. Data from a total of 175 earthquakes ( M s ≥ 5.0) in China from 1966 to 2014 were collected, and the rapid assessment method of ...

Inhomogeneity of Macroseismic Intensities in Italy and Consequences for Macroseismic Magnitude Estimation [PDF]
AbstractWe show that macroseismic intensities assessed in Italy in the last decade are not homogeneous with those of the previous periods. This is partly related to the recent adoption of the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS) in place of the Mercalli–Cancani–Sieberg (MCS) scale used up to about one decade ago. The underestimation of EMS with respect to

USGS “Did You Feel It?” Internet-based macroseismic intensity maps
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) “Did You Feel It?” (DYFI) system is an automated approach for rapidly collecting macroseismic intensity data from Internet users’ shaking and damage reports and generating intensity maps immediately following earthquakes;

Macroseismic intensity attenuation equations for Central Asia earthquakes [PDF]
Abstract Based on macroseismic survey data for strong earthquakes in Central Asia, the coefficients of attenuation of seismic intensities with distance in the Blake-Shebalin- and Kovesligethy -type equations were refined. A new generalized dependence of macroseismic intensity attenuation on distance, taking into account the depth of the ...

Seismic intensity assessment in points of a macroseismic scale plays an important role for researching the seismic history of areas characterized by active seismicity, as well as for construction (and updating) of seismic zoning maps in various scales ...

We derived new, reversible relationships between macroseismic intensity (I), expressed in either the European Macroseismic (EMS-98) or the Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg (MCS) scales, and peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV) and the ...
