An overview on the seismic microzonation and site effect studies in Central Asia

Annals of Geophysics, 2015
During the past centuries, many cities in Central Asia have suffered significant damages caused by earthquakes. A crucial step towards preparedness for future events, the definition of the optimal engineering designs for civil structures and the ...

Earthquake scenarios and seismic input for cultural heritage: applications to the cities of Rome and Florence

, 2015
For historical buildings and monuments, i.e. when considering time intervals of about a million year (we do not want to loose cultural heritage), the applicability of standard estimates of seismic hazard is really questionable.

Preliminary seismic microzonation in a mountainmunicipality of Tuscany (Italy)

Open Geosciences, 2015
In this paperwe describe a microzonation surveycarried out at a mountain Municipality (Piteglio, NorthernApennines). We complemented the available data by conducting106 microtremor measurements for Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) analysis ...

Geotechnical hazard representation for seismic risk analysis [PDF]

, 2009
Seismic risk analysis, either deterministic or probabilistic, along with the use of a GIS-environment to represent the results, are helpful tools to support the decision making for planning and prioritizing seismic risk management strategies.

Recent Seismic Microzoning Maps in Japan

Journal of Disaster Research, 2006
In Japan, seismic microzoning has been conducted as the basis for better disaster planning by governments. This paper introduces various seismic microzoning maps published by the central and local governments in Japan after the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Nation-wide seismic hazard maps are published by the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion, to ...
