Seismic Risk Analysis of Revenue Losses, Gross Regional Product and transportation systems. [PDF]
, 2013 Natural threats like earthquakes, hurricanes or tsunamis have shown seri- ous impacts on communities. In the past, major earthquakes in the United States like Loma Prieta 1989, Northridge 1994, or recent events in Italy like L’Aquila 2009 or Emilia 2012 ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

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

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for Central Asia
Annals of Geophysics, 2015 Central Asia is one of the seismically most active regions in the world. Its complex seismicity due to the collision of the Eurasian and Indian plates has resulted in some of the world’s largest intra-plate events over history. The region is dominated by

Probabilistic Sea-Level Rise Hazard Analysis [PDF]
, 2013 This paper proposes a framework termed Probabilistic Sea-Level Rise Hazard Analysis (PSLRHA), to integrate the sea-level rise knowledge of current climate change scientific communities for informed engineering and policy decisions that affect coastal ...

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.On the basis of core and log data, a Bayesian‐Optimized Random Forest model achieved 92.76% accuracy in classifying tight sandstone reservoirs. A gray relational analysis‐derived evaluation index shows > 80% consistency with actual gas zones. ABSTRACT Tight sandstone gas (TSG), an unconventional oil–gas resource, has heterogeneous reservoirs ...

PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS IN NORTHERN SUMATERA
Jurnal Neutrino: Jurnal Fisika dan Aplikasinya, 2019 Northern Sumatera is one of Indonesian region that prone to earthquake. On the other hand, this region has a high level of vulnerability, because of large number of population and high economic growth rate.

Comparative analysis of the seismic hazard of Central China [PDF]
, 2008 Seismic hazard assessment is globally recognised as a tool in identifying levels of earthquake ground shaking within an area. However, methodologies for seismic hazard calculation are wide ranging and produce variations in results and maps.
