Seismic shaking and tectonic deformation during strong earthquakes can trigger widespread
environmental effects. The severity and extent of a given effect relates to the characteristics …

The importance of non-structural components in building performance under seismic action
is well recognized in the scientific community. Damage to residential buildings registered in …

The use of a seismic intensity measure (IM) is paramount in decoupling seismic hazard and
structural response estimation when assessing the performance of structures. For this to be …

A study is presented on the seismic fragility of a sample of 15 reinforced-concrete school
buildings built between 1960 and 1980s in the province of Foggia, Southern Italy, for which …

A seismological model is developed for earthquakes induced by subsurface reservoir
volume changes. The approach is based on the work of Kostrov () and McGarr () linking total …

Groundwater is a vital freshwater resource for both humans and ecosystems. Achieving
sustainable management requires a detailed knowledge of the aquifer structure and of its …

This article presents an integrated approach for the probabilistic systemic risk analysis of a
road network considering spatial seismic hazard with correlation of ground motion …

Abstract The Earthquake Model of Middle East (EMME) project was carried out between
2010 and 2014 to provide a harmonized seismic hazard assessment without country border …

This paper explores the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for the rocking problem. The
paper adopts rigid rocking blocks of different sizes and slenderness, which undergo rocking …

The seismic design of structures according to current codes is generally carried out using a
uniform-hazard spectrum for a fixed return period, and by employing a deterministic …
