Seismic microzonation in Australia
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2000Abstract Since the 1980s seismic microzonation studies have been undertaken in Australia to assess the likely effects of earthquakes on urban centres built on unconsolidated sediments. Presently the Nakamura method is used for processing data. So far parts of Perth, Adelaide, Cairns, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Newcastle, Sydney and Launceston have been

Microzonation for Earthquake Scenarios
2010Seismic microzonation involves generation of seismic hazard maps with respect to estimated ground motion characteristics on engineering bedrock outcrop based on a regional seismic hazard study compatible with the scale of the microzonation. A grid system is implemented dividing the investigation area into cells according to the availability of ...

Georisk: Assessment and Management of Risk for Engineered Systems and Geohazards
Modern seismic risk assessment software includes seismic hazard analysis algorithms or relies on precomputed hazard maps. In both cases, a major step is incorporating the impacts of the local geological and geotechnical conditions. The common practice to

Seismic Microzonation of the Cassino Plain
2014Thanks to its favourable hydrogeological conditions, Cassino is one of the most studied sites of Central Italy. More than two hundred soil borings, some of them reaching depths as high as 100 m, have revealed a subsoil characterized by a calcareous platform and post-orogenetic series forming a tectonic basin filled by lacustrine and volcanic deposits ...

Multihazard Analysis: Istanbul Microzonation Projects
2023Istanbul is located one of the most seismically active regions of the earth. For this reason the city has suffered damage due to earthquakes in its historical process. Three of them, occurring in 1509, 1766, 1894 respectively,    seriously affected Istanbul and caused great loses around the city during the Ottoman period ...

Complex Terrain Extreme Wind Microzonation
Structures 2001, 2001The study of surface wind field may provide the primary input for decision-making in extreme wind simulation, structural design improvement, the understanding of wind induced structural vibration, and many other applications. The numerical model used in the study is a three-dimensional mass-consistent kinematic flow model. The major elements considered

Seismic Microzonation: A Case Study
2006The major purpose of seismic microzonation is to offer urban planners and city officials some guidelines to mitigate earthquake risk. For this purpose, a seismic microzonation study was conducted for the Silivri Municipality in Istanbul. Assuming that the main factors affecting the earthquake characteristics on the ground surface are source and site ...

Macroseismic foundations of seismic microzoning
Seismic Instruments, 2012The Russian seismic safety regulations are based on macroseismic evaluations in terms of seismic intensity values. According to the seismic scale, intensity value determines both the degree of destruction of buildings and engineering structures and such parameters of seismic impacts as peak ground accelerations and response spectra.
