Due to increases in the number of inhabitants and their concentrations in densely populated
areas, there is a growing need in modern society to be cautious towards the impact of …

Assessing earthquake risk and building vulnerability requires an exposure model. These
exposure models quantify the building stock in terms of structural characteristics, spatial …

Accelerograms from 11 earthquakes recorded over a period of 25 years (1980–2004) in a
12-story office building in Skopje, North Macedonia, are used to describe changes in its …

Urban areas located on complex geological formations, such as dune deposits, require
detailed seismic risk assessments that extend beyond standard seismic codes. This study …

In this paper, frequency-dependent empirical scaling equations are developed for pseudo
relative velocity (PSV) spectrum amplitudes of strong earthquake ground accelerations in …

In most seismic hazard analyses, ground motion prediction equations consider only the
effects of the top~ 30 m of local soil and fail to consider the effects of the deep geological …

Seismic microzonation maps for Guwahati metropolitan area are presented based on the
Uniform-Hazard-Spectrum (UHS) methodology. UHS method satisfies the performance …

In this study, the city of Osijek is used as a case study area for low to medium seismicity
regions with deep soil over deep geological deposits to determine horizontal PGA values …

Estimating of buildings vulnerability is based on a well-organized and detailed database of
buildings and their characteristics. Creation of the buildings database of the city Osijek is in …

The common approach to describing the attenuation of strong earthquake ground motion
has been in terms of a variable that measures the length of the wave path between the …
