Innovative Seismic Microzonation Maps of Urban Areas for the Management of Building Heritage: A Catania Case Study [PDF]
Several urban areas in the Mediterranean have already been subjected to seismic microzonation studies aimed at determining the acceleration expected on the ground surface, therefore mitigating the associated seismic risks.

DEVELOPMENT OF SEISMIC MICROZONATION MAPS OF SEMARANG, INDONESIA [PDF]
The new Indonesian Code for seismic resistance design for building has been issued recently. It follows the concept of Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER). Seismic risk microzonation of Semarang is analyzed using the new concept. Seismic risk microzonation study for hazard mitigation is also performed for the whole city based on ...

Italian seismic amplification factors for peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity
Ground motion modification over large areas is generally evaluated by focusing on source effects disregarding local lithostratigraphic site conditions. Hence, amplification maps of peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity are proposed to improve

Evaluation of liquefaction triggering potential in Italy: a seismic-hazard-based approach [PDF]
In the present study, we analyze ground-motion hazard maps and hazard disaggregation in order to define areas in Italy where liquefaction triggering due to seismic activity can not be excluded.

Abstract With the development of rotational seismometers, especially the high‐sensitivity optical seismometers, rotational motions have shown increasing benefits for calculation of dispersion curves, estimation of back azimuth and many other applications. Here we present the six‐component observations of 2019 Hualien mww6.1 earthquake simultaneously on

Abstract Effective site characterization in highly urbanized coastal lowlands requires accurate stratigraphic and geophysical investigations. In these regions, which typically host shallowly buried paleovalley systems formed in response to Quaternary glacio‐eustatic fluctuations, the marked lithologic contrast between soft sediment paleovalley fills ...

Seismic Microzonation Map for a Fixed-Jacket Platform in the Malay Basin
The existence of soft soil in offshore areas may lead to the amplification of vibration received from offshore facilities, especially from the existing fixed-jacket platforms, which were designed without provision to seismicity, as in Malaysian water.
