Seismic zoning methods and seismic hazard assessments

Informatization and communication, 2022
The 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.

Seismicity and seismic hazard assessment in West Africa

Journal of African Earth Sciences, 2021
No in-depth seismic hazard (SH) study for West Africa (WA) has ever been conducted, as the regional earthquake catalogues are incomplete. Such lack of comprehensive SH study has negatively affected planning and development of critical infrastructure and disaster risk management in WA.

Rapid seismic risk assessment

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2017
This paper deals with seismic risk on the Croatian territory, especially since population growth in risk-prone areas increases the potential loss due to an earthquake. The net effects of such urbanization factors are examined through the use of simulation models that estimate building inventory under possible seismic hazard expressed with peak ground ...

Quantitative Seismic Hazard Assessment

2007
We 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 ...

Seismic Hazard Assessment

2014
This chapter describes the fundamentals of seismic hazard assessment that constitutes the basis in the definition of seismic design forces. The classical probabilistic and deterministic hazard assessment methods are introduced with emphasis on their elementary components.

Seismic Assessment

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

The Seismic Assessment of Historical Masonry Structures

Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2014
structures constitutes a contemporary issue in most seismic regions around the world and particularly in Europe where monumental buildings represent a significant cultural heritage which must be preserved. In most cases seismic retrofitting projects of monumental structures have been performed without first proceeding to a reliable assessment of the ...

SEISMIC FRAGILITY ASSESSMENT OF MEDICAL COMPONENTS

Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2015
Shake table tests on a full scale three-dimensional model of a consultation room has been carried out at the University of Naples, Federico II ,Italy . The sample room con-tains a number of typical medical components, which are either directly connected to the panel boards of the perimeter walls or are simple free-standing elements.

Seismic Data Assessment

2018
In this chapter, I presented seismic data that was made available for analysis and interpretation. This data originated from four mines: El Teniente Diablo Regimento Sector (DR Sector), Northparkes Mines Lift 2 (NPM), PT Freeport Indonesia DOZ Mine (DOZ) and Palabora Mining Company (PMC).
