The stochastic method of ground‐motion simulation specifies the amplitude spectrum as a
function of magnitude (M) and distance (R). The manner in which the amplitude spectrum …

Traditional ground-motion models (GMMs) are used to compute pseudo-spectral
acceleration (PSA) from future earthquakes and are generally developed by regression of …

A probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) has been conducted as part of the Safety
Case justification for a new-build nuclear power plant in the UK. The study followed a cost …

A key element in the assessment of seismic hazard and risk due to induced earthquakes in
the Groningen gas field is a model for the prediction of ground motions. Rather than using …

The city of Ivanec is located between valley of the Bednja River and Mt. Ivanščica and this
area can be prone to significant seismic site amplification due to local site characteristics …

This study aims to evaluate the influence of epistemic uncertainties in shear wave velocity
(VS) on seismic ground response analyses (GRAs). A number of alternative VS profiles …

Highlights•Site amplification model for Croatia is derived based on RVT site response
analysis.•Site amplification model is based on different site parameters V S30, T 0 and H …

A refined seismic risk assessment at urban level is fundamental to identify the most correct
risk mitigation policies, both in short and long terms. To date, seismic risk assessment …

Ground motion modification over large areas is generally evaluated by focusing on source
effects disregarding local lithostratigraphic site conditions. Hence, amplification maps of …

Seismic risk assessment on a regional scale requires an estimation of ground motion
intensity and its spatial variation over large geographical areas. This task is particularly …
