The influence of aftershocks on seismic hazard analysis: a case study from Xichang and the surrounding areas [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesIn 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.

Assessment of Seismic Hazard of Territory
, 2012 The new complex method of seismic hazard assessment that resulted in creation of the probabilistic maps of seismic microzonation is presented in this chapter. To study seismicity and analyze seismic hazard of the territory the following databases are formed: macroseismic, seismologic databases and the database of possible seismic source zones (or ...

A Macro‐Model for Simulating Gusset Plate Buckling in Buckling‐Restrained Braced Frame Buildings
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT 2D models, which are conventionally employed for the seismic performance assessment of buckling‐restrained braced frame (BRBF) buildings, are incapable of simulating the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates. This study presents a novel 3D macro‐modelling approach capable of capturing the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates in BRBFs.

Seismic Hazard Assessment: Conditional Probability [PDF]
In this exercise, students investigate the use of conditional probability (the likelihood that a given event will occur within a specified time period) in assessing earthquake hazards.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lead high‐damping rubber (LHDR) bearings, composed of high‐damping rubber and lead core, are effective isolation devices that address increased seismic demands. The temperature effect on the behavior of LHDR bearings is significant, leading to increased initial stiffness at low temperatures.

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2000 This paper reviews concepts and trends in seismic hazard characterization that have emerged in the past decade, and identifies trends and concepts that are anticipated during the coming decade. New methods have been developed for characterizing potential earthquake sources that use geological and geodetic data in conjunction with historical seismicity ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over recent decades, Italy has been affected by multiple earthquakes, revealing the significant vulnerability of existing structures. These seismic events have resulted in notable human and economic losses, emphasising the importance of evaluating the impact of one or more seismic events on various building types.
