Development of Seismic Demand for Chang-Bin Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan Strait

open access: yesEnergies, 2016
Taiwan is located on the Pacific seismic belt, and the soil conditions of Taiwan’s offshore wind farms are softer than those in Europe. To ensure safety and stability of the offshore wind turbine supporting structures, it is important to assess the ...

COMPILATION OF ACTIVE FAULT DATA IN PORTUGAL FOR USE IN SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
To estimate where future earthquakes are likely to occur, it is essential to combine information about past earthquakes with knowledge about the location and seismogenic properties of active faults.

NEW SEISMIC SOURCE ZONE MODEL FOR PORTUGAL AND AZORES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The development of seismogenic source models is one of the first steps in seismic hazard assessment. In seismic hazard terminology, seismic source zones (SSZ) are polygons (or volumes) that delineate areas with homogeneous characteristics of seismicity ...

New Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Model for Nepal Himalayas by Integrating Distributed Seismicity and Major Thrust Faults

open access: yesGeosciences, 2023
Nepal is one of the most seismically active regions in the world, as highlighted by the recent devastating 2015, Mw~7.8 Gorkha earthquake, and a robust assessment of seismic hazard is paramount for the design of earthquake-resistant structures.

Simplified Estimation of Economic Seismic Risk for Buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A seismic risk assessment is often performed on behalf of a buyer of commercial buildings in seismically active regions. One outcome of the assessment is that a probable maximum loss (PML) is computed.

Evaluasi Bahaya Gempa (Seismic Hazard) Dengan Menggunakan Metode Point Source Dan Penentuan Respons Spektra Desain Kota Kupang [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The earthquake which occurred at a site is caused by the release of energy from theepicenter, which then propagate to the location of the earthquake. The amount of energy tothe location will affect the magnitude earthquake that occurred.
