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

, 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 ...

From repair costs and casualties to human displacements in the aftermath of an earthquake. The case of buildings with and without pre-existing damage exposed to a Mw 7.1 scenario in the Messina Strait, Italy

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
In seismic risk assessment, expert-elicited collapse factors are used to estimate casualties (injuries and fatalities). However, these approaches often overlook buildings’ pre-existing (pre-earthquake) deterioration.

Seismicity and seismic hazards

, 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.

Simplified Estimation of Economic Seismic Risk for Buildings [PDF]

, 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.

Potential seismic landslide hazard and engineering effect in the Ya’an-Linzhi section of the Sichuan-Tibet transportation corridor, China

China Geology, 2023
: The Sichuan-Tibet transportation corridor is located at the eastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the complex topography and geological conditions, developed geo-hazards have severely restricted the planning and construction of major ...

A hybrid model for mapping simplified seismic response via a GIS-metamodel approach [PDF]

, 2014
In earthquake-prone areas, site seismic response due to lithostratigraphic sequence plays a key role in seismic hazard assessment. A hybrid model, consisting of GIS and metamodel (model of model) procedures, was introduced aimed at estimating the 1-D ...

Challenges and Opportunities in Multi‐Method Integrated Geophysical Prospection of Buried Building Remains at the Sanctuary of Olympia

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ancient Olympia was one of the most important sanctuaries and the venue for the Olympic Games in Greek and Roman times. Its remains are located in the Olympia Terrace (Peloponnese, Greece) at the present‐day confluence of the rivers Alpheios and Kladeos at the base of Mount Kronos.

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

, 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.

Natural Time, Nowcasting and the Physics of Earthquakes: Estimation of Seismic Risk to Global Megacities

, 2017
This paper describes the use of the idea of natural time to propose a new method for characterizing the seismic risk to the world's major cities at risk of earthquakes. Rather than focus on forecasting, which is the computation of probabilities of future
