Seismic hazard assessment of Iran
Annals of Geophysics, 1999 The development of the new seismic hazard map of Iran is based on probabilistic seismic hazard computation using the historical earthquakes data, geology, tectonics, fault activity and seismic source models in Iran.

The crustal stress field of Germany: a refined prediction
Geothermal Energy, 2022 Information about the absolute stress state in the upper crust plays a crucial role in the planning and execution of, e.g., directional drilling, stimulation and exploitation of geothermal and hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Seismic hazard and risk in Bhutan [PDF]
Natural Hazards, 2020 We present the first modern seismic hazard and risk assessment in the Bhutan Himalaya. We used a fault-based probabilistic seismic hazard analysis based on fault locations, slip-rates, and paleoseismic earthquake data. We worked with two seismic intensity measures: the peak-ground acceleration (PGA) and Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI).

Assessing infrequent large earthquakes using geomorphology and geodesy in the Malawi Rift [PDF]
, 2015 In regions with large, mature fault systems, a characteristic earthquake model may be more appropriate for modelling earthquake occurrence than extrapolating from a short history of small, instrumentally observed earthquakes using the Gutenberg–Richter ...

Mapping Seismic Hazard for Canadian Sites Using Spatially Smoothed Seismicity Model
International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2023 The estimated seismic hazard based on the delineated seismic source model is used as the basis to assign the seismic design loads in Canadian structural design codes.

Site Amplification Analysis of Dushanbe City Area, Tajikistan to Support Seismic Microzonation
Geosciences, 2021 Being a country exposed to strong seismicity, the estimation of seismic hazard in Tajikistan is essential for urbanized areas, such as the rapidly growing capital city Dushanbe. To ensure people’s safety and adequate construction work, a detailed seismic

Valuation of extinction parameters of anisotropic macro-seismic wave intensities
Геофизический журнал, 2014 A method is proposed for calculating the parameters of macroseismic intensity decay of anisotropic fields. Macroseismic field are described by the model of Blake-Shebalin to the attenuation depending on the azimuth direction «epicenter-point-score ...

Seismic hazard in the design of oil and gas pipelines [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2011 Criteria that are adopted in earthquake resistant design of pipelines and gas lines have to take into account seismic movements and seismic generated forces that are of significantly high probability level of appearance along the length of pipeline. A
