Seismic Hazard Assessment: Conditional Probability [PDF]
In this exercise, students investigate the use of conditional probability (the likelihood that a given event will occur within a specified time period) in assessing earthquake hazards.

Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in Greece – Part 1: Engineering ground motion parameters [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010 Seismic hazard assessment represents a basic tool for rational planning and designing in seismic prone areas. In the present study, a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in terms of peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, Arias intensity and ...

Sobre la medida del tamaño del terremoto y la peligrosidad sísmica en España/ On earthquake size measures and seismic hazard in Spain [PDF]
, 2008 The influence of earthquake size parameters contained on seismic catalogues on seismic hazard assessment studies is discussed. The topic is illustrated in the Spanish context, characterized by moderate seismic activity and consequently, limited ...

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

Seismic hazard assessment of Greenland
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2007 Earthquake activity in Greenland has been registered and mapped since 1907 (Larsen et al. 2006) and thus a long (albeit relatively sparse) record of seismic activity is available for evaluation of seismic hazard and risk. Seismic hazard assessment is carried out by judging the probability of future earthquakes in a given region and is based on ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...
