Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Portuguese Adobe Buildings [PDF]
Buildings, 2021 Adobe construction represents 5.3% of the total Portuguese building stock according to the latest National Housing Census. The distribution of these adobe buildings is scattered across the country, with higher density in the central region and in Algarve in the south, where the seismic hazard is highest.

Comparison of vulnerabilities in typical bridges using macroseismic intensity scales
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022 The macroseismic intensity scale in different regions is extensively assessed in the vulnerability assessment of building structures and is rarely used to quantify the damage characteristics of group bridges. To more accurately examine the differences in

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of the Casamari Gothic Church [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2015 This paper focuses on the seismic behaviour of the Casamari Gothic church located close to Frosinone in Italy. Linear static and dynamic finite element analyses are developed using a three-dimensional model of the whole church employing the commercial code ABAQUS.

ASSESSMENT OF SEISMIC VULNERABILITY OF HISTORICAL DEFENSIVE WALLS [PDF]
Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2015 Abstract. This paper presents a study on the behaviour of the walls of the Rocca Roveresca of Senigallia in Italy built in the XIV century on the ruins of a former Roman defensive struc-ture. This is a peculiar example of a small fortress that had undergone in the XV century im-portant modifications of the plant in order to enhance its defensive ...

INTEGRATED ESTIMATION OF SEISMIC PHYSICAL VULNERABILITY OF TEHRAN USING RULE BASED GRANULAR COMPUTING [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 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 ...

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020 Earthquake is one of the natural disasters which threaten many lives every year. It is impossible to prevent earthquakes from occurring; however, it is possible to predict the building damage, human and property losses in advance to mitigate the adverse ...

Feasibility of using neural networks to obtain simplified capacity curves for seismic assessment [PDF]
, 2018 The selection of a given method for the seismic vulnerability assessment of buildings is mostly dependent on the scale of the analysis. Results obtained in large-scale studies are usually less accurate than the ones obtained in small-scale studies.
