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.

Seismic Analysis of Floating Stone Columns in Soft Clayey Soil [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
The response of floating stone columns of different lengths to diameter ratio (L/D = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) ratios exposed to earthquake excitations is well modeled in this paper.

The El Masnou Infralittoral sedimentary environment (Barcelona province, NW Mediterranean Sea): morphology and Holocene seismic stratigraphy [PDF]

, 2010
A detailed analysis of the morphology and the Holocene seismic and sequence stratigraphy and architecture of the infralittoral sedimentary environment of the El Masnou coast (Catalonia, NW Mediterranean Sea) was carried out using multibeam bathymetry and

Seismic Vulnerability Evaluation of a Historical Masonry Tower: Comparison between Different Approaches

Applied Sciences, 2022
Throughout the last few decades, the scientific community has paid great attention to the structural safety of historical masonry constructions, which have high vulnerability with respect to seismic activities. Masonry towers are very widespread in Italy

Comparative Seismic Response Analysis of a Multi-Storey Building with and without Base Isolators under High Magnitude Earthquake

Engineering Proceedings, 2023
Earthquakes can induce structural failure, the vertical collapse of a structure, or can result in the breaking and falling of non-structural components of the structure.

Macro-Modelling of IP-OoP Interaction in Unreinforced Solid Masonry Infills under Earthquake-Induced Actions: A Review

Buildings, 2023
Unreinforced masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames are a prevalent taxonomy class not only in the Mediterranean region but also in Europe and worldwide, where buildings of this type abound or are ubiquitous.

Spatial Variations of Late Quaternary Slip Rates along the Ganzi–Xianshuihe Fault Zone in the Eastern Tibet

Remote Sensing
The Ganzi–Xianshuihe Fault Zone is a large-scale sinistral strike-slip fault zone on the eastern Tibet. As the boundary fault zone of the Bayankala Block and the Chuandian Block, it controls the clockwise rotation of the southeastern Tibet.
