Seismic hazard and risk scenarios for Barcelona, Spain, using the Risk-UE vulnerability index method [PDF]

, 2018
The vulnerability index method, in its version developed in the framework of the European project Risk-UE, has been adapted and applied in this article, to evaluate the seismic risk for the city of Barcelona (Spain) through a GIS based tool. According to

An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are used to mitigate structural vibrations induced by seismic or wind excitation, by tuning the device to the system's dominant resonant frequencies. However, the TMD effectiveness can be undermined by soil‐structure interaction, which can lead to elongation of the vibration periods and to combined translational ...

Microzonation of the seismic vulnerability index by using the horizontal to vertical spectral ratio in Boyolali, Central Java [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019
Research on the potential for seismic vulnerability has been carried out in the Boyolali, Central Java. The purpose of this study was to determine the microzonation of the seismic susceptibility index by using the HVSR method (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio). The study was conducted by using a set of Portable Digital Seismograph TDS-303S (YGI-I).

An Efficient Quasi‐Static Condensation‐Based Framework for Seismic Analysis of Multi‐Supported Secondary Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multi‐supported non‐structural components (NSCs) are prone to seismic damage, yet their response prediction remains challenging when support motions are spatially incoherent. This study proposes an enhanced quasi‐static condensation (EQSC) method for linear, lightweight, dynamically detuned multi‐supported NSCs under the neglect of primary ...

Construction of an Integrated Social Vulnerability Index to Identify Spatial Variability of Exposure to Seismic Hazard in Pahang, Malaysia

, 2020
Devastating effects of natural disasters dynamically depends on the vulnerability components of a specific area. Therefore, assessing vulnerability is necessary to estimate the earthquake risk.

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fragility functions make for one of the three key components of probabilistic seismic risk analysis, along with hazard and consequence and/or exposure models. They are, in principle, construction‐specific; however, risk analysis is more often performed on a larger (e.g., regional) scale. In this case, so‐called typological fragility curves are

Vulnerability to Earthquake Hazard: Bucharest Case Study, Romania

International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2017
Recent seismic events show that urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to seismic damage, which leads to unprecedented levels of risk. Cities are complex systems and as such their analysis requires a good understanding of the interactions between space ...

Seismic Structural Reliability by Time‐Variant Fragility Functions

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seismic vulnerability of aging structures is often represented in the form of fragility curves that vary with time. On one hand, each of these functions is intended to apply if the earthquake hits at the time the fragility refers to. On the other hand, performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) resources to classical probabilistic ...

Assessment of the Relationship Between Seismic Vulnerability and Seismic Risk Perception: A Case Study of Peshawar, Pakistan

GeoHazards
Earthquakes pose a serious threat to urban areas located in seismically active regions, particularly in developing countries where rapid urbanization and weak enforcement of building regulations increase the vulnerability of the built environment ...
