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.

Why is Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) still used?
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2017 Even though it has never been validated by objective testing, Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) has been widely used for almost 50 years by governments and industry in applications with lives and property hanging in the balance, such as ...

Simplified Estimation of Economic Seismic Risk for Buildings [PDF]
, 2004 A seismic risk assessment is often performed on behalf of a buyer of commercial buildings in seismically active regions. One outcome of the assessment is that a probable maximum loss (PML) is computed.

The influence of aftershocks on seismic hazard analysis: a case study from Xichang and the surrounding areas [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesIn 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.

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.”
