Optimal seismic upgrade timing in seaports with increasing throughput demand via real options [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A real options (RO) formulation is proposed for decision-making on the timing to upgrade the seismic performance of existing seaports with increasing throughput demand in earthquake prone areas.

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

open access: yes, 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.

Simplified Estimation of Economic Seismic Risk for Buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Fault Displacement Hazard Analysis Based on Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Specific Nuclear Sites

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Permanent ground displacements/deformations caused by earthquakes can seriously challenge the safety of the nuclear power plants. The state-of-the-art hazard analysis methods provide a fault displacement hazard curve, i.e., the annual probability of ...

Seismic hazard analysis for Sutami Dam using probabilistic method [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
One of the largest structures in Malang is Sutami dam. It was built in 1964 to 1973 and began to be operated in 1977. Considering the age of the dam which is over 40 years and the high risk of earthquake in this area, it is necessary to analyze its ...

Comparative Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Sakarya

open access: yesAcademic Platform Journal of Natural Hazards and Disaster Management, 2023
Sakarya province can be significantly affected by earthquakes on the North Anatolian Fault. Earthquake hazard includes some uncertainties. Earthquake catalog data is needed for probabilistic earthquake hazard calculations. In addition to current catalog information, existing attenuation relationships, including earthquake characteristics for the region,

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

open access: yes, 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.

PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS OF SGSITS, INDORE

open access: yes, 2021
This paper presents the seismic hazard analysis performed for SGSITS Indore by the probabilistic approach where in the peak ground acceleration has been calculated for different frequencies considering the attenuation equation given by Raghukanth and Iyenagar. The intra-plate activity, zone-specific parameters for seismicity and fault map has been used
