ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis in Thailand using Active Fault Data
To develop seismic design criteria for buildings, seismic hazard analysis is required to estimate the ground motion intensity with criteria such as peak ground acceleration (PGA).

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessments for Myanmar and its metropolitan areas
Although Myanmar is an earthquake-prone country, there has not been proposed an official national seismic hazard map. Thus, this study conducted a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for Myanmar and some of its metropolitan areas.

Towards improving the seismic hazard map and the response spectrum for the state of RN/Brazil
Although Brazilian seismic activity is defined as low to moderate, it is known that intraplate earthquakes can also be associated to high intensities. In Brazil, the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) is one of the most seismically active areas, but there

Regional Adjustments to NGA‐West2 Ground‐Motion Models for Turkey
ABSTRACT This paper presents a ground‐motion model updating (GMMU) framework to adjust NGA‐West2 models for predicting a set of intensity measures in Turkey, including peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and pseudo‐spectral acceleration (PSA) at periods ranging from 0.01 to 10 s. The GMMU framework integrates bias identification

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis of Burdur City
The aim of this study is to assess seismic hazard for Burdur City (SW Turkey) using a probabilistic approach. A new earthquake catalog for Burdur City and its vicinity, with unified moment magnitude scale, was prepared in the scope of the study. Seismicity of the area was evaluated by the Gutenberg-Richter recurrence relationship.

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis using reliability methods [PDF]
By considering uncertainties in the input parameters (e.g., magnitude, location, wave path, etc.), the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) aims to compute annual rate of various exceeding ground motions at a site or a map of sites of all anticipated given earthquakes.

Seismic Risk Analysis of Revenue Losses, Gross Regional Product and transportation systems. [PDF]
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 ...
