Seismic Vulnerability of lifelines
Abstract The North of Algeria is located in a seismic zone, then earthquakes are probably the most likely natural disaster that would lead to major lifeline disruption. The adequate operation of lifelines is vital for the economic development of regions under moderate to high seismic activity.

Seismic vulnerability of a slope in central Italy [PDF]
This study has regarded the evaluation of site effects for seismic vulnerability in correspondence of a site in San Giuliano di Puglia (Italy), located in the Molise Region in Southern Italy, which is prone to high seismic risk. On October 31, 2002, a ML = 5.4 earthquake struck the Molise region in Southern Italy.
