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

Combined Geophysical and Geotechnical Approaches for Microzonation Studies in Hispaniola Island
Geosciences, 2018 In this paper, we describe recent studies for the geophysical and geomechanical characterization of soils in Hispaniola (Greater Antilles), an island threatened by the eventual rupture of major seismogenic fault systems. The investigations were performed

Seismic risk maps for the seismic risk management and reduction
Procedia Structural Integrity, 2023 The paper illustrates the seismic risk maps computed by the Authors for the residential building stock of Italy by using a general framework specifically set up for mapping seismic risk for a generic asset of interest. Seismic risk maps are computed taking into account a seismogenic model of the analyzed area, and properly characterizing vulnerability ...
