Seismology is among the ancient sciences that concentrate on earthquake disaster management (EQDM), which directly impact human life and infrastructure resilience. Such a pivot has made use of contemporary technologies.

Twenty‐Five Years of Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment
Abstract Fault displacement hazard poses significant risks to critical infrastructure such as buildings, roads, and pipelines. While some structures can tolerate a certain degree of surface displacement, others, such as buildings, are far more vulnerable. Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment (PFDHA) quantifies the probability of exceeding

Influence of vibrations on structures [PDF]
One type of occasional structural load is a seismic load. Earthquakes and blasts are typical sources of vibrations, but vibration generated during urban tunnel construction can represent a significant problem.

Abstract The spatial distribution of seismicity in active fault zones depends primarily on the geometry of the fault networks. However, recent advances suggest that seismic activity may also be controlled by the rheology of the geological units surrounding fault zones. In the present work, we use seismological and geological analyses to investigate the

Longwave radiation anomalies associated with seismic activity in the northern Tibetan Plateau
Seismically active northern Tibetan Plateau necessitates the application of remote sensing-driven earthquake precursor detection. We applied wavelet transform and power spectrum analysis to outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) from 37 M ≥ 5.0 earthquakes ...

Most convergent plate boundaries create great earthquakes. The Cascadia subduction zone is unusual for that no plate boundary earthquakes occured within the last 200 years. As supported by a variety of innovative research, regional seismic hazard assessments recently consider the possibility that large earthquakes exist but the frequency of their ...

Abstract Stochastic earthquake‐tsunami models (SETMs) are widely used to simulate hypothetical tsunamis and their variability. Different SETMs can produce tsunamis with substantially different statistical properties, and to understand their biases, SETMs should be tested against tsunamis generated by multiple real earthquakes. However, few studies have
