Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Loss Estimation of an Urban District of Timisoara [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The seismic risk evaluation of built-up areas is associated to the level of earthquake hazard, building vulnerability and level of exposure. It is well known that the large-scale vulnerability assessment is a very important topic for the protection of ...

Geological and Historical‐Based Approaches to Define Scenario Earthquake: Case‐Studies and Application at Municipality‐Scale in Italy

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 15, Page 3828-3845, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study compares two approaches for determining earthquake magnitude (M) and source‐to‐site distance (R) to assess seismic scenarios in Italy. The first method relies on geological criteria from the Italian seismogenic sources database (DISS3.3.0), while the second method uses historical earthquakes from the DBMI‐CPTI15 Italian catalogue ...

The Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains: a new seismic source in the low seismicity northern region of New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 609-627, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we provide the first field‐based assessment of the seismic potential of the Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains, Waikato region. Initially considered to be part of the nearby Kerepehi Fault, our new mapping and field data suggest the Te Puninga Fault is independent.

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

A predictive model for household displacement duration after disasters

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 4289-4317, December 2025.
Abstract According to recent Household Pulse Survey data, roughly 1.1% of households were displaced due to disasters in the United States in recent years. Although most households returned relatively quickly, 20% were displaced for longer than 1 month, and 14% had not returned by the time of the survey.

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.

Macroseismic intensity investigation of the November 2014, M=5.7, Vrancea (Romania) crustal earthquake

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2016
On November 22, 2014 at 21:14:17 local hour (19:14:17 GMT) a  ML=5.7 crustal earthquake occurred in the area of Marasesti city of Vrancea county (Romania) - the epicenter was located at north latitude 45.87° and east longitude 27.16°, with a focal depth ...

The vulnerability assessment of current buildings by a macroseismic approach derived from the EMS-98 scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A hierarchical family of Damage Probability Matrices (DPM) has been derived in this paper from the ones implicitly contained in the EMS-98 Macroseismic Scale for 6 vulnerability classes. To this aim the linguistic definitions provided by the scale, and

Modelling the Importance of Ground and Strong‐Motion Variables on the Damage Status in the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes Using Supervised Machine Learning

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 12, Issue 4, October 2025.
KNN achieved the highest performance (0.989) using the full dataset and 0.988 with ground‐based parameters. EBd and f0 were key contributors to damage, while PGA dominated strong‐motion models. Specificity consistently outperformed sensitivity in earthquake‐parameter models.

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
