Probabilistic seismic hazard and risk assessment of Mizoram, North East India

open access: yesNatural Hazards Research, 2023
This paper presents seismic hazard and risk assessment for the state of Mizoram based on a classical probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and event-based probabilistic seismic risk analysis. For the seismic hazard estimation, analysis has been performed

Time-dependent probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and its application to Hualien City, Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Here, we propose a time-dependent probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and apply it to Hualien City, Taiwan. A declustering catalog from 1940 to 2005 was used to build up a long-term seismicity rate model using a smoothing Kernel function.

Assessing infrequent large earthquakes using geomorphology and geodesy in the Malawi Rift [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In regions with large, mature fault systems, a characteristic earthquake model may be more appropriate for modelling earthquake occurrence than extrapolating from a short history of small, instrumentally observed earthquakes using the Gutenberg–Richter ...

Transposing an active fault database into a seismic hazard fault model for nuclear facilities – Part 1: Building a database of potentially active faults (BDFA) for metropolitan France [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017
The French Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), with the support of the Ministry of Environment, compiled a database (BDFA) to define and characterize known potentially active faults of metropolitan France. The general structure

Interpreting intraplate tectonics for seismic hazard : a UK historical perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It is notoriously difficult to construct seismic source models for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in intraplate areas on the basis of geological information, and many practitioners have given up the task in favour of purely seismicity-based ...

Physics‐based probabilistic seismic hazard and loss assessment in large urban areas: A simplified application to Istanbul

open access: yesEarthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2020
A set of 3D physics‐based numerical simulations (PBS) of possible earthquakes scenarios in Istanbul along the North Anatolian Fault (Turkey) is considered in this article to provide a comprehensive example of application of PBS to probabilistic seismic ...

Seismic hazard assessment of Iran

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1999
The development of the new seismic hazard map of Iran is based on probabilistic seismic hazard computation using the historical earthquakes data, geology, tectonics, fault activity and seismic source models in Iran.

Integration of local soil effect into the assessment of seismic hazard at the Kharga Oasis, Western Desert, Egypt

open access: yesScientific African, 2021
The effect of local soil is integrated into the assessment of seismic hazard at the Kharga Oasis, Western Desert, Egypt. The work is done by adopting the probabilistic approach of seismic hazard assessment and the site response analysis.

Comparing observed damages and losses with modelled ones using a probabilistic approach: the Lorca 2011 case [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A loss and damage assessment was performed for the buildings of Lorca, Spain, considering an earthquake hazard scenario with similar characteristics to those of a real event which occurred on May 11th, 2011, in terms of epicentre, depth and magnitude ...

A probabilistic seismic hazard model for Greenland

open access: yesNatural Hazards Research, 2022
Greenland belongs to a stable continental region where seismic activity is low. Due to this factor and low population, only one probabilistic seismic hazard model of Greenland has been published, showing only a peak ground acceleration map.
