Social and material vulnerability in the face of seismic hazard: an analysis of the Italian case [PDF]
, 2021 The assessment of the vulnerability of a community endangered by seismic hazard is of paramount importance for planning a precision policy aimed at the prevention and reduction of its seismic risk. We aim at measuring the vulnerability of the Italian municipalities exposed to seismic hazard, by analyzing the open data offered by the Mappa dei Rischi ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 183-203, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Estimates of the earthquake ground motion intensity over a geographical area have multiple uses, that is, emergency management, civil protection and seismic fragility assessment. In particular, with reference to fragility assessment, it is of interest to have estimates of the values of different ground‐motion intensity measures in order to ...

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

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 308-334, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are highly vulnerable to seismic ground motion, calling for quantitative risk assessment and mitigation programmes in different earthquake‐prone countries to reduce future losses. Despite the effectiveness of base isolation technology in reducing seismic response of buildings, the high costs of conventional

Conditional hazard for simplified multi‐site seismic hazard and risk analyses
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 482-499, February 2023., 2023 Abstract The joint probability distribution of different intensity measures (IMs)$( {IMs} )$ at different sites in one earthquake is needed to define the stochastic process regulating the exceedance (in time) of the IMs$IMs$ at the ensemble of the sites, which in turn is a funding element of the so‐called multi‐site probabilistic seismic hazard ...

Modelling seismic ground motion and its uncertainty in different tectonic contexts: challenges and application to the 2020 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM20) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesCurrent practice in strong ground motion modelling for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) requires the identification and calibration of empirical models appropriate to the tectonic regimes within the region of application, along with ...

Seismic hazard maps of Peshawar District for various return periods [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of Peshawar District has been performed for a grid size of 0.01∘. The seismic sources for the target location are defined as the area polygon with uniform seismicity.

Seismic hazard analysis by neo-deterministic seismic hazard analysis approach (NDSHA) for Kosovo
Applied Rheology, 2023 It is favorable to re-evaluate the seismic hazard for a given territory, since in the course of time new methods are developed and new data are gathered that can enable more sophisticated (physically sound) and reliable assessment of the seismic hazard ...
