Remote structural characterization of thousands of buildings from San Jose, Costa Rica

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2022
The present work shows the implementation of a data collection strategy for characterizing large amounts of buildings efficiently by the conduction of remote surveys on 360° panoramic images and aerial photographs. A set of 7,296 buildings from the Latin

Fractal Seismicity and Seismic Risk [PDF]

open access: yesIzvestiya, Physics of the Solid Earth, 2020
Recently, attempts have been made to take into account the fractal properties of seismicity when mapping the long-term rate of earthquakes. The paper touches upon the theoretical aspects of fractality and provides a critical analysis of its applications to the problems of seismic ...

Modelling site response at regional scale for the 2020 European Seismic Risk Model (ESRM20)

open access: yesBulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2022
Quantitative estimation of seismic risk over a region requires both an underlying probabilistic seismic hazard model and a means to characterise shallow site response over a large scale.

Scenario-based multi-risk assessment from existing single-hazard vulnerability models. An application to consecutive earthquakes and tsunamis in Lima, Peru [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Multi-hazard risk assessments for building portfolios exposed to earthquake shaking followed by a tsunami are usually based on empirical vulnerability models calibrated on post-event surveys of damaged buildings.

Seismic Risk Assessment of Multiple Cities: Biases in the Vulnerability Derivation Methods for Urban Areas With Different Hazard Levels

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Previously, it has been shown that probabilistic seismic risk assessments (PSRAs) at urban scale present important discrepancies when compared with analyses conducted using methodologies from regional or national PSRA.

Seismic Risk

open access: yes, 2021
The importance of ensuring that dam structures can withstand earthquakes has been recognized and practiced for many years. The technical capability of the dam engineering industry in the seismic design of dam structures has increased considerably since the 1980-1990s.
