Comparing observed damages and losses with modelled ones using a probabilistic approach: the Lorca 2011 case [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A loss and damage assessment was performed for the buildings of Lorca, Spain, considering an earthquake hazard scenario with similar characteristics to those of a real event which occurred on May 11th, 2011, in terms of epicentre, depth and magnitude ...

Seismic Hazard and Public Safety [PDF]

open access: yesEos, 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 ...

Seismicity and seismic hazards

open access: yes, 2001
Many earthquakes occur along Canada's western margin near the edge of the North American Plate, but others occur within the plate in Arctic and southeastern Canada. Damaging earthquakes have occurred throughout history in both Eastern and Western Canada, and will undoubtedly recur in the future.

Earthquake‐induced landslide scenarios for seismic microzonation. Application to the Accumoli area (Rieti, Italy) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Scenarios of earthquake-induced landslides are necessary for seismic microzonation (SM) studies since they must be integrated with the mapping of instability areas.

Comparative analysis of the seismic hazard of Central China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Seismic hazard assessment is globally recognised as a tool in identifying levels of earthquake ground shaking within an area. However, methodologies for seismic hazard calculation are wide ranging and produce variations in results and maps.

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 ...
