Revisiting Svenskby, Southeastern Finland: Communications Regarding Low-Magnitude Earthquakes in 1751–1752

Geosciences, 2022
This investigation examines the contemporary documentation of a sequence of low-magnitude earthquakes at the fringes of the Kingdom of Sweden, today Southeastern Finland, in 1751–1752.

A thorough review of the 5 May 1990 Potenza (Southern Italy) earthquake: constraints from macroseismology and insights from hydrology [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
The Potenza earthquake of 5 May 1990 (Mw 5.77) was a significant event for southern Italy, despite its moderate magnitude and limited damage. Previous macroseismic studies of this earthquake contained inconsistent and often exaggerated macroseismic ...

Extending displacement-based earthquake loss assessment (DBELA) for the computation of fragility curves [PDF]

, 2012
This paper presents a new procedure to derive fragility functions for populations of buildings that relies on the displacement-based earthquake loss assessment (DBELA) methodology.

New relationships between macroseismic intensity and local magnitude for the volcanic region of Mt. Etna (Italy)

Journal of Seismology
The volcanic region of Mt. Etna (Italy) has a well-documented historical seismic activity, with records of seismic and volcanic events on the volcano dating back to late 1633.

Nuove evidenze di correlazione tra l'attenuazione macrosismica ed i campi di lineamenti strutturali nell'Italia meridionale

Annals of Geophysics, 1982
The analysis of a large number of macroseismic fields of past and recent<br />earthquakes in Southern Italy allows a wider check of a previous interpretative<br />model of the anisotropy of the regional macroseismic field, in the context of a

Support Vector Regression for the Relationships between Ground Motion Parameters and Macroseismic Intensity in the Sichuan–Yunnan Region

Applied Sciences, 2020
In this paper, a nonlinear regression method called a support vector regression (SVR) is presented to establish the relationship between engineering ground motion parameters and macroseismic intensity (MSI).

Critical considerations on the evaluation of macroseismic effects

Annals of Geophysics, 1980
The definition of some of the standards used for evaluating local effects<br />and optimizing the relative macroseismic procedures are critically<br />considered, also from the different interpretative points of view to have<br />come ...

From historical earthquake records to intensity value: some results of a study

Annals of Geophysics, 1995
The use of historical records to assess macroseismic intensity involves problems seldom evidenced. This paper deals with the problems connected with the use of macroseismic scales, with particular attention to MSK 81 and the EMS 92, in the case of two ...

Estimating the upper limit of prehistoric peak ground acceleration using an in situ, intact and vulnerable stalagmite from Plavecka priepast cave (Detrekoi-zsomboly), Little Carpathians, Slovakia-first results [PDF]

, 2017
Earthquakes hit urban centres in Europe infrequently, but occasionally with disastrous effects. Obtaining an unbiased view of seismic hazard (and risk) is therefore very important.
