Development of an earthquake-induced landslide risk assessment approach for nuclear power plants

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2018
Despite recent advances in multi-hazard analysis, the complexity and inherent nature of such problems make quantification of the landslide effect in a probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of NPPs challenging.

A probabilistic approach to the seismic hazard in Kashmir basin, NW Himalaya

open access: yesGeoscience Letters, 2019
Northwestern Himalaya is one of the most tectonically active domains of the Himalayan arc. The prevailing complex collisional tectonic setup is able to produce destructive earthquakes, most recent being the 8 October 2005 Kashmir earthquake (M7.6).

New Ground Motion to Intensity Conversion Equations for China

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2021
In this study, we use the strong motion records and seismic intensity data from 11 moderate-to-strong earthquakes in the mainland of China since 2008 to develop new conversion equations between seismic intensity and peak ground motion parameters.

Study on Quantification Method Based on Monte Carlo Sampling for Multiunit Probabilistic Safety Assessment Models

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2017
In Korea, many nuclear power plants operate at a single site based on geographical characteristics, but the population density near the sites is higher than that in other countries.

Surface Consistent Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Shillong Plateau, Northeast India: A Probabilistic Approach Using Multiple Source Models and a Logic Tree Framework

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.

Weak‐Story Mitigation and Drift Redistribution in Moment‐Resisting Frames Using Stepping Rocking Walls

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Nonstationary Spatial Correlation of Earthquake Ground Motions in California

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Assessing seismic risk to spatially distributed infrastructure systems requires realistic representations of spatially correlated ground motions. Existing models for the spatial correlations of ground motions rely on strong second‐order stationarity assumptions, under which the correlation structure is assumed to be invariant across space, potentially ...
