Risk assessment and mitigation programs have been carried out over the last decades in
the attempt to reduce transportation infrastructure downtime and post-disaster recovery …

We provide ground motion prediction equations for computing medians and standard
deviations of average horizontal component intensity measures (IMs) for shallow crustal …

We present a new empirical ground motion model for PGA, PGV, PGD and 5% damped
linear elastic response spectra for periods ranging from 0.01–10 s. The model was …

We present a model for estimating horizontal ground motion amplitudes caused by shallow
crustal earthquakes occurring in active tectonic environments. The model provides …

New earthquake ground-motion relations for hard-rock and soil sites in eastern North
America (ena), including estimates of their aleatory uncertainty (variability) have been …

An empirical model for estimating the horizontal pseudo-absolute spectral accelerations
(PSA) generated by shallow crustal earthquakes was published in 2008 using the recorded …

Shear wave velocity, V s, is a soil mechanical property that can be advantageously
measured in both the field and laboratory under real and controlled conditions. The …

We analyze NGA-West2 data and simulations to develop a site amplification model that
captures ground motion scaling with VS 30 and soil nonlinear effects. We parameterize …

For engineering systems having a potential for degradation under cyclic loading (eg,
landslides, soil profiles subject to liquefaction, some structural systems), the characterization …

On 22 March 2020, Zagreb was struck by an M5. 5 earthquake that had been expected for
more than 100 years and revealed all the failures in the construction of residential buildings …
