Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Iterative solvers are advantageous for handling nonlinear structural analysis problems. The iterative solvers often require updating the stiffness matrix, which limits their application in static and pseudo‐dynamic hybrid simulations because: (1) updating the stiffness matrix of a system involving a physical specimen is challenging; (2 ...

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.

Probabilistic and Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment in Amol Center, a City in North of Iran [PDF]
Iranica Journal of Energy and Environment, 2012 In this paper, the peak ground acceleration over the bedrock (PGA) is calculated by a probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard assessment. The active fault map of the region is prepared. For this purpose, all active faults in a radius of 100 km of

Seismic hazard in the Po Plain and the 2012 Emilia earthquakes
Annals of Geophysics, 2012 The Emilia earthquakes of May 20, 2012 (Ml 5.9, INGV; Mw 6.11, http://www.bo.ingv.it/RCMT/) and May 29, 2012 (Ml 5.8, INGV; Mw 5.96, http://www.bo.ingv.it/RCMT/) struck an area that in the national reference seismic hazard model [MPS04; http ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Risk‐based seismic assessments using demand curves that provide mean annual exceedance rates for various system demand levels are increasingly being adopted. Such assessments combine the seismic hazard curve with fragility functions for each demand level, serving as a basis to quantify the average annual losses from system damage. Constructing

Earthquake Loss Simulation Using the “Extremum” System: An Example of Morocco’s Territory
Russian Journal of Earth SciencesThe study describes the use of the Extremum system for simulating near-real-time effects related to the devastating earthquake that struck Morocco on September 8, 2023, as well as the consequences of several scenario events for potentially hazardous ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Seismic Hazard and Public Safety [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 The recent destructive earthquakes in Wenchuan (China), L'Aquila (Italy), Port‐au‐Prince (Haiti), Christchurch (New Zealand), and Tohoku (Japan) have reignited the discussion over seismic safety. Several scientists [e.g., Stein et al., 2012; Wyss et al., 2012] have questioned the reliability of some seismic hazard maps based on the probabilistic ...

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.
