A new Vs30 map for Italy based on the seismic microzonation dataset
Engineering Geology, 2020 In this study, we derive a large-scale Vs30 map for Italy starting from the global terrain geomorphological classification based on normalized slope, local convexity, and surface texture (after Iwahashi et al., 2018). The novelty of the present work is the integration of a large amount of data from the Italian seismic microzonation dataset, consisting ...

Recent Seismic Microzoning Maps in Japan
Journal of Disaster Research, 2006 In Japan, seismic microzoning has been conducted as the basis for better disaster planning by governments. This paper introduces various seismic microzoning maps published by the central and local governments in Japan after the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Nation-wide seismic hazard maps are published by the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion, to ...

An overview of the technique for seismicity microzonation mapping of the Ulan-Ude city territory
Geodynamics & Tectonophysics, 2015 For purposes of seismicity microzonation of the Ulan‐Ude city territory, engineering geophysical studies are conducted to reveal which types of rocks and soils are dominant in the study area and to classify them by site‐specific velocities of P‐ and S‐waves and amplitude‐frequency characteristics.

Study on the applicability of the microtremor HVSR method to support seismic microzonation in the town of Idrija (W Slovenia) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017 The town of Idrija is located in an area with an increased seismic hazard in W Slovenia and is partly built on alluvial sediments or artificial mining and smelting deposits which can amplify seismic ground motion.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2855-2879, September 2026.ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.

Development of a Seismic Microzoning Map for Lima City and Callao, Peru
Journal of Disaster Research, 2014 The location of Lima city and El Callao in the Pacific coast and the long history of seismic activity were the main reasons to develop a seismic microzoning map. The microzoning study was based on large numbers of geotechnical and geophysical exploration points distributed around the study area.

Seismic microzoning of the Delhi metropolitan area, India—II: Hazard computation and zoning maps
Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, 2022 AbstractWe present seismic microzonation maps of New Delhi, India, using the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) method with input seismic activity parameters estimated in Part‐I of this two‐part paper. Our calculations required three different attenuation equations for amplitude scaling of strong ground motion from three principal ...

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2618-2633, September 2026.ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such
