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.

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.

Inhomogeneity of Macroseismic Intensities in Italy and Consequences for Macroseismic Magnitude Estimation [PDF]
Seismological Research Letters, 2021 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

The comparison of macroseismic intensity scales [PDF]
Journal of Seismology, 2009 The number of different macroseismic scales that have been used to express earthquake shaking in the course of the last 200 years is not known; it may reach three figures. The number of important scales that have been widely adopted is much smaller, perhaps about eight, not counting minor variants.

Attenuation Relationship of Macroseismic Intensities in Central Europe [PDF]
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2009 Abstract Two intensity-attenuation models for central Europe are presented in terms of mean relations and probability distributions of their variability. They are based on 14,714 intensity data points (IDP) of 31 earthquakes located in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic.

Looking for undocumented earthquake effects: a probabilistic analysis of Italian macroseismic data [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 A methodology to detect local incompleteness of macroseismic intensity data at the local scale is presented. In particular, the probability that undocumented effects actually occurred at a site is determined by considering intensity prediction equations (

Northern Sicily, September 6, 2002earthquake: investigation on peculiarmacroseismic effects
Annals of Geophysics, 2003 The Northern Sicily, September 6, 2002 earthquake (Ml = 5.6, MW = 5.9) is investigated under macroseismic aspect: peculiar effects are collected besides standard effects normally used to define Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg (MCS) intensity.

Deriving numerical estimates from descriptive information: the computation of earthquake parameters
Annals of Geophysics, 2000 We describe here how the origin time, the epicenter location, the epicentral intensity and the magnitude of the earthquakes included in the Catalogue of Strong Italian Earthquakes (CFTI3) have been determined from the documentary information available ...

Relationship between isoseismal area and magnitude of historical earthquakes in Greece by a hybrid fuzzy neural network method [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 In this paper we suggest the use of diffusion-neural-networks, (neural networks with intrinsic fuzzy logic abilities) to assess the relationship between isoseismal area and earthquake magnitude for the region of Greece.
