Seismic Design Forces and Risks [PDF]
, 2012 In recent years, seismic damages caused by giant earthquakes have occurred in many countries. For example, over 250,000 people were killed by the Haiti Earthquake in January 2010. In addition, over 15,000 people were killed by the Tohoku Japan Earthquake and the coasts of Tohoku Japan were devastated by the massive tidal wave in March 2011.

Soft Barriers for the Mitigation of Seismic Risk
Procedia Engineering, 2016 AbstractThis paper gives an insight on the static and dynamic performance of soft buried barriers made of a mixture of soil and a Super Absorbing Polymer (SAP) to be used for the mitigation of seismic risk. Laboratory tests were carried out on sand-SAP mixtures at different relative percentages.

SEISMIC RISK ASSESSMENT IN THE ATTICA BASIN
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, 2017 This paper aims to determine the exposure-based earthquake risk posed in the Attica Basin, Greece using a GIS based methodology. The hazard level is based on grouped geological formations according to the New Ground Anti-Earthquake Regulation of Greece and the structural setting of the area. Vulnerability is calculated using two different methodologies.
