An immediate report of the source focal mechanism with full automation after a destructive
earthquake is crucial for timely characterizing the faulting geometry, evaluating the stress …

Comparisons of ground motions from two widely used point-source and finite-source ground-
motion simulation programs (SMSIM and EXSIM) show that the following simple …

In this article, the outcomes of a research cooperation between Politecnico di Milano, Italy,
and Munich RE, Germany, aiming to improve ground‐motion estimation in the Istanbul area …

The rapid urban development in Istanbul has lead to an increase in the exposure levels of
the urban vulnerability. Due to the steadily increasing population, with improper land-use …

Rupture directivity and its potential frequency dependence is an open issue within the
seismological community, especially for small‐to‐moderate events. Here, we provide a …

The aim of this study is to investigate the directivity effects of~ 250 aftershocks (magnitudes 3–
5.5) of the Mw 6.1 2009 L'Aquila earthquake (central Italy). To this end, we estimate the …

In this paper earthquake damage scenarios for residential buildings (about 4200 units) in
Potenza (Southern Italy) have been estimated adopting a novel probabilistic approach that …

Acoustic waves generated by seismic waves contain information on the internal structure of
planets, and can be sensed by pressure sensors onboard high-altitude balloons. To identify …

In this study, we simulate and compare ground motion shaking in the city of Lisbon and
surrounding counties (metropolitan area of Lisbon (MAL)), using two possible earthquake …

Fast and precise estimation of strong ground motion is important for seismic hazard
responses and engineering purposes. Stochastic finite-fault methods are effective ground …
