Assessment of seismic hazards in Yemen

Heliyon, 2021
The seismic hazard analyses for Yemen have attracted the attention of researchers during the last two decades. However, the studies are limited and mainly use deterministic or approximate conventional probabilistic approaches.

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for Iraq

Journal of Seismology, 2020
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessments (PSHA) form the basis for calculating seismic loads in most contemporary seismic provisions in building codes around the world. The current building code of Iraq, which was published in 1997, is currently undergoing a significant engineering update. This study was undertaken in order to support the building code

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.”

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessments for Myanmar and its metropolitan areas

Geoscience Letters, 2023
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.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment for Jamaica [PDF]

Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2013
A probabilistic seismic hazard analysis was performed to generate seismic hazard maps for Jamaica. The analysis was then conducted using a standard logic-tree approach that allowed systematically taking into account the model-based (i.e., epistemic) uncertainty and its influence on the computed ground motion parameters.

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Kazakhstan and Almaty city in peak ground accelerations

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2018
As for many post-soviet countries, Kazakhstan's building code for seismic design was based on a deterministic approach. Recently, Kazakhstan seismologists are engaged to adapt the PSHA (probabilistic hazard assessment) procedure to the large amount of ...

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.

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for Nepal [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Information and Communication Technologies, 2010
Written history of great earthquakes in excess of magnitude M8 and recently identified 92 small faults around underlying big three fault systems parallel to the Himalayas show a high seismicity in Nepal. However, since faults are so closed that it is difficult to judge which earthquake belongs to which fault and even some of the faults do not hold ...

The 1976 Guatemala Earthquake: ESI Scale and Probabilistic/Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis Approaches

Geosciences, 2019
A hazard assessment of the 1976 Guatemala earthquake (M = 7.5) was conducted to achieve a better definition of the seismic hazard. The assessment was based on the environmental effects that had effectively contributed to the high destructive impact of ...
