Assessing infrequent large earthquakes using geomorphology and geodesy in the Malawi Rift [PDF]
In regions with large, mature fault systems, a characteristic earthquake model may be more appropriate for modelling earthquake occurrence than extrapolating from a short history of small, instrumentally observed earthquakes using the Gutenberg–Richter ...

Seismic hazard assessment for Adria
The Adriatic region was chosen as one of the test areas in the GSHAP program and, consequently, its seismic hazard was computed. The standard hazard map chosen by GSHAP represents PGA with a 475-year return period.

Seismic Rigoletto: Hazards, risks and seismic roulette applications
Neo-Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment (NDSHA), dating back to the turn of the Millennium, is the new multi-disciplinary scenario- and physics-based approach for the evaluation of seismic hazard and safety–guaranteeing “prevention rather than cure.”

State of the art of seismic risk and loss assessment in structures [PDF]
Earthquakes are known as one of the disasters that have fatal consequences for human safety. However, inevitably, the earthquake itself is not the leading cause of the losses suffered by humans, both material and soul.

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessments for Myanmar and its metropolitan areas
Although Myanmar is an earthquake-prone country, there has not been proposed an official national seismic hazard map. Thus, this study conducted a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for Myanmar and some of its metropolitan areas.

Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment [PDF]
Using the available information about regional structural models, past seismicity, and the seismotectonic regime in Italy, we have generated a set of synthetic seismograms covering the whole Italian territory on a 0.2° × 0.2° grid. Peak values of ground motion (displacement, DMAX, and velocity, VMAX) and Design Ground Acceleration (DGA) based on ...
