Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Nepal using multiple seismic source models
The potential for devastating earthquakes in the Himalayan orogeny has long been recognized. The 2015 MW7.8 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake has heightened the likelihood that major earthquakes will occur along this orogenic belt in the future.

EXTENDED FRAMEWORK FOR EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI RISK ASSESSMENT: PADANG CITY A CASE STUDY [PDF]
The Great Sumatra earthquake and resulting devastating tsunami in 2004 have highlighted the significance of earthquake risk assessment that can effectively include all main associated hazards, such as tsunami.

ABSTRACT This paper illustrates opportunities for the use of simulated ground motions in seismic performance assessment – from seismic hazard, ground‐motion selection, response history analysis, and seismic demand hazard calculation. The illustration is through a comparative analysis with the conventional alternative of observed ground motions.

The influence of aftershocks on seismic hazard analysis: a case study from Xichang and the surrounding areas [PDF]
In some instances, a strong aftershock can cause more damage than the mainshock. Ignoring the influence of aftershocks may lead to the underestimation of the seismic hazard of some areas.

An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios
ABSTRACT Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are used to mitigate structural vibrations induced by seismic or wind excitation, by tuning the device to the system's dominant resonant frequencies. However, the TMD effectiveness can be undermined by soil‐structure interaction, which can lead to elongation of the vibration periods and to combined translational ...

Hazard zonation for potential earthquake-induced landslide in the eastern East Kunlun fault zone
Based on probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, the seismic landslide hazard research considers the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of seismic peak ground acceleration, which integrates the factors such as seismic intensity, location ...
