Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in Greece – Part 1: Engineering ground motion parameters [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010
Seismic hazard assessment represents a basic tool for rational planning and designing in seismic prone areas. In the present study, a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in terms of peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, Arias intensity and ...

A framework for probabilistic seismic risk assessment of NG distribution networks [PDF]

, 2016
Lifelines are essential infrastructures for human activities and the economic developm ent of a region. Lifelines vulnerability reduction is an actual question, particularly with reference to NaTech events, like earthquakes.

Earthquake-Induced Landslide Risk Assessment: An Example from Sakhalin Island, Russia

Geosciences, 2019
Damages caused by earthquake-induced ground effects can be of the order or significantly exceed the expected damages from ground shaking. A new probabilistic technique is considered in this study for earthquake-induced landslide risk assessment.

Spectrum-to-spectrum methods for the generation of elastic floor acceleration spectra [PDF]

, 2017
In seismic codes, the acceleration demand of nonstructural components is commonly expressed in terms of floor response spectra and estimated by means of simple predictive equations.

Seismic Rigoletto: Hazards, risks and seismic roulette applications

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Neo-Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment (NDSHA), dating back to the turn of the Millennium, is the new multi-disciplinary scenario- and physics-based approach for the evaluation of seismic hazard and safety–guaranteeing “prevention rather than cure.”

The influence of aftershocks on seismic hazard analysis: a case study from Xichang and the surrounding areas [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
In some instances, a strong aftershock can cause more damage than the mainshock. Ignoring the influence of aftershocks may lead to the underestimation of the seismic hazard of some areas.

COMPILATION OF ACTIVE FAULT DATA IN PORTUGAL FOR USE IN SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS [PDF]

, 2010
To estimate where future earthquakes are likely to occur, it is essential to combine information about past earthquakes with knowledge about the location and seismogenic properties of active faults.

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...
