Validation of Physics‐Based Simulated Accelerograms for Seismic Fragility Analyses of Italian RC Existing Building Types

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article aims at exploring and validating the use of 3D physics‐based simulated ground motions as seismic input for the derivation of seismic fragility curves based on nonlinear dynamic numerical analyses. Fragility curves are computed for a set of pre‐code (i.e., designed only for vertical loads), reinforced concrete building types representative ...

Do seismologists agree upon epicentre determination from macroseismic data? A survey of ESC Working Group ' Macroseismology'

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1996
In contrast to the case of instrumental data, the procedures for epicentral parameter determination (coordinates and I0) from macroseismic data are not very well established. Although there are some "rules", upon which most seismologists agree (centre of

Near‐Source Ground Motion From Normal Faults: Insights From the Physics‐Based Numerical Simulations of the 1980 Irpinia Earthquake, Southern Italy

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
In this paper, the physics‐based numerical simulation of the strongest instrumental earthquake in the recent seismic history of Italy, i.e., the Nov 23, 1980 Irpinia earthquake in Southern Italy, with magnitude MW 6.8, is presented and discussed. A 3D spectral element model covering an extended region (147 × 110 km2) was constructed, with a frequency ...

SEISMIC HAZARD MAP FOR THE ITALIAN TERRITORY USING MACROSEISMIC DATA

open access: yesEarth Sciences Research Journal, 2006
A seismic hazard map, in terms of macroseismic intensity, is proposed for the Italian continental territory and Sicily, which has a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years.

Bayesian analysisof a probability distribution for local intensity attenuation

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2004
Intensity attenuation and its variation as a function of the distance and earthquake size is still a critical issue in evaluating seismic hazard. We present a method that allows us to incorporate additional information from the historical earthquake felt

Seismicity and Seismotectonics in the Cantabrian‐Pyrenean Zone (N Spain) Using a Dense Temporary Network of Broadband Seismic Stations

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Earthquakes in intraplate regions are often scattered and difficult to associate with specific geological structures, requiring detailed surveys to identify active faults. Improving knowledge of local seismicity in these areas is essential for accurate seismic hazard assessment and for safe planning of economic activities that could affect ...

Recalibration of the Intensity Prediction Equation in Italy Using the Macroseismic Dataset DBMI15 Version 2.0

open access: yesSeismological Research Letters
We recompute the coefficients of the intensity prediction equation (IPE) in Italy using the data of the DBMI15 version 2.0 (v.2.0) intensity database and the instrumental and combined (instrumental plus macroseismic) magnitudes reported by the CPTI15 v.

National‐scale Mapping of the Expected Earthquake Magnitude for Soil Liquefaction Triggering Analyses in Italy

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
This paper introduces a procedure to estimate moment magnitude (MW) in earthquake‐induced soil liquefaction probabilistic risk assessment. The method is based on using the historical seismicity modelled with a truncated Gutenberg‐Richter (G‐R) relation, jointly with an empirical model linking the MW to the maximum source‐to‐site distance at which soil ...

National borders earthquakes: an attempt at intensity maps unification

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1994
In this paper the problem of unification of macroseismic maps across national borders is discussed. Up to now some attempts in this way have been carried out, evidencing the difficulties present in such analysis.
