INTEGRATED ESTIMATION OF SEISMIC PHYSICAL VULNERABILITY OF TEHRAN USING RULE BASED GRANULAR COMPUTING [PDF]
Tehran, the capital of Iran, is surrounded by the North Tehran fault, the Mosha fault and the Rey fault. This exposes the city to possibly huge earthquakes followed by dramatic human loss and physical damage, in particular as it contains a large number ...

Simplified Estimation of Economic Seismic Risk for Buildings [PDF]
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.

Seismic vulnerability analysis of shield tunnels considering cavitation
The existence of cavities behind the segments is one of the common disease phenomena in shield tunnels. The cavities not only affect the static mechanics behavior of soil and segment, but also directly affect the dynamic response of the tunnel, which ...
