Large scale seismic vulnerability and risk evaluation of a masonry churches sample in the historical centre of Naples [PDF]

, 2017
This paper investigates about the seismic vulnerability and risk of fifteen masonry churches located in the historical centre of Naples. The used analysis method is derived from a procedure already implemented by the University of Basilicata on the ...

In for a penny: An empirical study of earthquake experience and non‐pharmaceutical intervention effectiveness in the Marche region

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates whether prior exposure to natural disasters influenced individual compliance with non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), specifically lockdown measures, during the Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Focusing on the Marche region of Italy, which experienced a severe earthquake in 2016, we exploit

Seismic vulnerability of buried pipelines

Geofísica Internacional, 2003
Existen varios documentos e investigaciones que señalan los daños causados por los fuertes sismos del pasado siglo a las tuberías de agua potable, drenaje y gas. Precisamente los sismos acontecidos en México en septiembre de 1985 corresponden a esta clase de sismos que causaron fuertes daños a varias tuberías, tanto en el Distrito Federal como en el ...

An efficient methodology to estimate probabilistic seismic damage curves [PDF]

, 2019
The incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a powerful methodology that can be easily extended for calculating probabilistic seismic damage curves. These curves are metadata to assess the seismic risk of structures.

Seismic vulnerability of buildings

, 2018
The monograph summarizes the problem of risk for any type of natural phenomenon, defines each of the terms that intervene in the risk analysis, describes the way in which these terms interact and some of them are particularized for the case of the seismic phenomenon.

Evaluation of seismic vulnerability assessment parameters for portuguese vernacular constructions with nonlinear numerical analysis [PDF]

, 2015
Considering that vernacular architecture may bear important lessons on hazard mitigation and that well-constructed examples showing traditional seismic resistant features can present far less vulnerability than expected, this study aims at understanding ...

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

Block random rocking and seismic vulnerability estimation

Engineering Structures, 1994
Abstract An analysis is undertaken of the rocking motion of a rigid block resting on a rigid foundation when subjected to a random ground acceleration by using an equivalent linear system. The method predicts the cumulative distribution function of the extreme values of the tilt angle and the results are compared with those obtained by other authors ...
