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

Frontiers 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

, 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.

Assessment of Freeze-Thaw in Romania [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Due in part to political participation, the study of severe climate and weather conditions has attracted a lot of attention in recent decades. However, there has been insufficient focus on the historical climate monitoring data.

Simplified Estimation of Economic Seismic Risk for Buildings [PDF]

, 2004
A seismic risk assessment is often performed on behalf of a buyer of commercial buildings in seismically active regions. One outcome of the assessment is that a probable maximum loss (PML) is computed.

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 ...
