The 1976 Guatemala Earthquake: ESI Scale and Probabilistic/Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis Approaches

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
A hazard assessment of the 1976 Guatemala earthquake (M = 7.5) was conducted to achieve a better definition of the seismic hazard. The assessment was based on the environmental effects that had effectively contributed to the high destructive impact of ...

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

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Kazakhstan and Almaty city in peak ground accelerations

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2018
As for many post-soviet countries, Kazakhstan's building code for seismic design was based on a deterministic approach. Recently, Kazakhstan seismologists are engaged to adapt the PSHA (probabilistic hazard assessment) procedure to the large amount of ...

Probabilistic Modelling of the Seismic Hazard using the Romanian Earthquake Catalogue [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2005
The actual trend of performance based modelling of the seismic action is to adopt probabilistic models of the seismic hazard. In the first part of the paper are presented theoretical aspects of the seismic hazard definition from the probabilistic point ...

A Comparative Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Eastern Turkey (Bitlis) Based on Updated Hazard Map and Its Effect on Regular RC Structures

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Determining the earthquake hazard of any settlement is one of the primary studies for reducing earthquake damage. Therefore, earthquake hazard maps used for this purpose must be renewed over time.

An efficient methodology to estimate probabilistic seismic damage curves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a powerful methodology that can be easily extended for calculating probabilistic seismic damage curves. These curves are metadata to assess the seismic risk of structures.
