This paper describes the main characteristics, the evolution, and the structure of the
Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources (DISS) and particularly of its release of early …

Abstract The 2013 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM13) results from a community-
based probabilistic seismic hazard assessment supported by the EU-FP7 project “Seismic …

This paper describes the probabilistic assessment of seismic hazard (PSHA) of Italy in view
of the building codes from 2003 to 2009. A code was issued in 2003 as a Prime Minister …

This paper presents and discusses some research results related to the seismic failure risk
of standard, residential and industrial, buildings designed for damage, and life-safety …

Recent major earthquakes in the Italian territory have reaffirmed the seismic vulnerability of
precast industrial buildings typical of past Italian building practices, highlighting structural …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

Abstract SPO2FRAG (Static PushOver to FRAGility) is introduced, a MATLAB®-coded
software tool for estimating structure-specific seismic fragility curves of buildings, using the …

In earthquake-prone countries, transport network managers need to perform extensive
seismic risk assessments co** with a considerable number of bridges characterised by an …

During an earthquake the seismic wave amplification related to local site conditions can
have a significant impact on the ground motion. In order to account for these local effects …

A new view of Ecuador's complex geodynamics has been developed in the course of
modeling seismic source zones for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. This study focuses …
