A hybrid model for mapping simplified seismic response via a GIS-metamodel approach [PDF]

, 2014
In earthquake-prone areas, site seismic response due to lithostratigraphic sequence plays a key role in seismic hazard assessment. A hybrid model, consisting of GIS and metamodel (model of model) procedures, was introduced aimed at estimating the 1-D ...

Tuned Mass Damper Design for Slender Masonry Structures: A Framework for Linear and Nonlinear Analysis

Applied Sciences, 2021
The paper presents a proposed framework to optimize the tuned mass damper (TMD) design, useful for seismic improvement of slender masonry structures. A historical masonry chimney located in northern Italy was considered to illustrate the proposed TMD ...

NEW SEISMIC SOURCE ZONE MODEL FOR PORTUGAL AND AZORES [PDF]

, 2010
The development of seismogenic source models is one of the first steps in seismic hazard assessment. In seismic hazard terminology, seismic source zones (SSZ) are polygons (or volumes) that delineate areas with homogeneous characteristics of seismicity ...

Seismic assessment of reinforced concrete buildings using fragility curve [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2017
Fragility curves are usually used to determine the vulnerability of structures. But defining failure criteria is of great importance in seismic vulnerability which probability of exceeding from these failure criteria is considered as the basis of ...

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.
