Seismicity, seismotectonics and seismic hazard of Italy

Engineering Geology, 2000
Abstract A first generation of probabilistic seismic hazard maps of the Italian country are presented. They are based on seismogenic zoning deriving from a kinematic model of the structural tectonic units and on an earthquake catalogue with the foreshock and aftershock events filtered out. The following ground motion parameters have been investigated

Origin of Seismicity in Italy as a Clue for Seismic Hazard

2023
Italian seismicity is generated by the ongoing subduction of the European lithosphere beneath the Alps, and the Adriatic lithosphere beneath the Apennines. The two belts are extremely different due to their opposite polarity relative to the inferred underlying ‘eastward’ mantle flow.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Induced Seismicity

2014
Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis is currently the most common approach to seismic hazard analysis. For application to induced seismicity, a major challenge is the fact that the hazard is inherently nonstationary. In this paper we describe the theoretical extension of PSHA to a non-stationary context.

Seismic Hazard

This chapter gives an overview of how earthquakes lead to different hazards affecting a site, and how probabilistic hazard estimates are evaluated in seismic assessment and retrofit projects. It describes the characteristics of an earthquake that lead to ground shaking at a site, including source, wave passage and site effects, and quantitative metrics

Quantitative Seismic Hazard Assessment

2007
We analyze the ingredients required for deterministic wave propagation simulation in order to estimate more accurately ground motion in terms of amplitude, frequency content and duration. Building maps of expected ground motion before a catastrophic event for various scenarios may help design ways to mitigate impacts of ground vibrations as well as ...

Seismic Hazard for Critical Facilities

2014
Critical facilities are man-made equipments, plants, constructions, and structures that, if affected by a strong earthquake, can produce serious impacts on people, environment, and economy. Therefore, for these facilities specific provisions in terms of seismic design are required and detailed seismic hazard evaluations have to be developed.

Seismic Hazard vs. Seismic Risk

Seismological Research Letters, 2009
The world is full of uncertainties, ranging from climate change, financial markets, natural disasters, terror attacks, and personal health to the measurements of the most fundamental elements of all: time and space. Dealing with uncertainty is a given in life, and any decision is always made under a certain degree of uncertainty.

Seismic Hazard of Honduras

Natural Hazards, 2000
In this paper we have described the procedures used, input data applied and results achieved in our efforts to develop seismic hazard maps of Honduras. The probabilistic methodology of Cornell is employed. Numerical calculations were carried out by making use of the computer code SEISRISK III.
