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

Garigliano nuclear power plant: seismic evaluation of the turbine building [PDF]
The Italian Garigliano Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) started its energy production in 1963. At present it is in the decommissioning stage. In order to get a proper management of the radioactive waste that will be produced during the dismantling operations it

Hydrogen is an energy carrier, produced from renewable and nonrenewable resources. It can be stored in a variety of materials and transported to distant locations. This article reviews progress in hydrogen technology by looking at environmental and economic impact, cost analysis, and policy support at government level as way forward for bringing it to ...

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