Geotechnical hazard representation for seismic risk analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

On the complexity of seismic waves trapped in non-flat geologic features [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Most earthquake engineering and seismological models make the sweeping assumption that the world is flat. The ground surface topography, however, has been repeatedly shown to strongly affect the amplitude, frequency, duration and damage induced by ...
