Introduction The safety of humans in crowded environments has been recognised as an
important and rapidly growing research area with significant implications for urban planning …

Since the late 1970s, nonlinear static analysis have had an increasing use in the seismic
assessment of existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. Different modelling …

Evacuation path of pedestrians at subway station can directly affect the evacuation
efficiency, and then affect the service level of the station. A Fisk stochastic user equilibrium …

Earthquakes have high impact in Italian historic centres, and the complex disaster chain still
causes considerable casualties and damage to the built environment. In these contexts, the …

Disasters affect millions of people annually, causing large numbers of fatalities, detrimental
economic impact and the displacement of communities. Policy-makers, researchers and …

The study of crowd evacuation dynamics is important for the management of public safety,
and crowd evacuation dynamics models can be used to simulate the behaviors of …

Earthquake risk assessment at urban scale is actually based on site hazard, buildings
vulnerability and exposition, but does not consider human behaviours during both the event …

Every year, a considerably large number of disasters occur as a result of natural events or
human faults. In order to decrease the damage and casualties associated with each …

The literature of pedestrian, crowd and evacuation dynamics is captured in its approximate
full scope and is analysed at various levels using scientometric indicators of its underlying …

Earthquake safety paradigms in urban scenarios can be represented by the following:
buildings response to ground shaking; possibility to evacuate urban areas; rescuers' …
