Seismic zoning methods and seismic hazard assessments
Informatization and communication, 2022The paper considers methods and models for seismic hazard assessment and features of seismic monitoring in Central Siberia. The article is a continuation of the work on the study of algorithmic support for performing a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) as one of the main stages in engineering seismological surveys.

Quantitative Seismic Hazard Assessment
2007We analyze the ingredients required for deterministic wave propagation simulation in order to estimate more accurately ground motion in terms of amplitude, frequency content and duration. Building maps of expected ground motion before a catastrophic event for various scenarios may help design ways to mitigate impacts of ground vibrations as well as ...

Subjective Seismic Safety Assessments
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1984The safety of ten structures which were damaged in the 1964 Alaska earthquake and two in the 1971 San Fernando one was assessed by considering seven subjective factors not evident in the usual resistance and load measures. The subjective factors were the financial climate, labor conditions, political climate, weather, quality of inspection, experience ...

The first step in developing any solution is to properly diagnose the problem. Understanding structural vulnerabilities and deficiencies as part of a seismic assessment is critical to forming a solid foundation for subsequent retrofit design. This chapter summarises the broad topic of seismic assessment including the levels of assessment, the knowledge

Probabilistic Seismic Structural Assessment
Computing in Civil Engineering (2007), 2007The deterministic seismic assessment methods remain insufficient to define structural behavior under earthquake effect due to the uncertain and random variables in the analysis. Including the probabilistic approaches into these analyses for definition of seismic structural behavior will give more rational results.

Large earthquakes could potentially cause extensive property damage, loss of life, and environmental damage as a result of damage to critical facilities. Assessment of seismic risk to critical facilities such as nuclear power plants and chemical plants is not only important from the standpoint of a large capital investment but also because of potential

Advanced Seismic Hazard Assessment
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2010Issues pertaining to urban risks are a pressing concern for people involved in disaster mitigation. With the progressing urban sprawl and the emergence of mega-cities around the world, disasters of all kinds become an inevitable consequence of uncontrolled urbanization.
