Assessment of seismic sources and capable faults through hierarchic tectonic criteria: implications for seismic hazard in the Levant

open access: yes, 2020
. We present a methodology for mapping faults that constitute a potential hazard to structures, with an emphasis on ground shake hazards and on surface rupture nearby critical facilities such as dams and nuclear power plants.

The influence of b-value estimate in seismic hazard assessment

open access: yes, 2006
In any probabilistic seismic hazard assessment an important role is played by the seismicity rates. This is confirmed by the wide and controversial discussions about the procedures for their determination: Gutenberg and Richter distribution vs ...

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment of Armenia Using an Integrated Seismotectonic Framework

open access: yesGeoHazards
Armenia is located within the central segment of the Arabia–Eurasia continental collision zone and is exposed to significant seismic hazard. This study presents an updated probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) for Armenia based on an integrated ...

Assessment of seismic hazard in mines

open access: yesRussian Journal of Seismology, 2020
The assessment of seismic hazard in mines has several peculiarities compared to the similar assessment for tectonic earthquakes: (a) in mines seismicity is typically induced by the extraction of rocks, what makes the assessment of hazard depends on the planned mining sequence, (b) many seismic events in mines have source mechanisms different from the ...

Development of an open-source platform for calculating losses from earthquakes

open access: yes, 2012
Risk analysis has a critical role in the reduction of casualties and damages due to earthquakes. Recognition of this relation has led to a rapid rise in demand for accurate, reliable and flexible risk assessment numerical tools and software.

Tsunami hazard scenarios in the Adriatic Sea domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The tsunami phenomenon is mainly detected in oceanic domains but it can also occur in small basins as the Adriatic Sea. The presence of great waves has been recorded a few times in the past centuries on the Adriatic shorelines, therefore this suggests ...
