As complex man-made systems that are home to the majority of the world population, cities
have always faced a wide range of risks such as earthquakes. As the backbone of urban …

A probabilistic seismic risk assessment is conducted in this study to quantify Annualized
Earthquake Loss (AEL) of Tehran, the capital of Iran. To do so, a comprehensive review of …

The probability of earthquake in Tehran, large population and congestion in this city and
unequal distribution of the population has increased the vulnerability of Tehran to the …

The second part of a seismic risk assessment study for the Iranian city of Isfahan is
presented, focusing on the description of the hazard, the risk analysis, and the discussion of …

This study summarizes the state-of-the-art investigation into active-seismogenic faulting in
the Tehran Region, and presents new complementary data to provide an overall view on …

In this study, a comprehensive loss model using the most recent census data (2016)
together with the updated earthquake catalog (till 2018) is employed to estimate the direct …

Ideally, hazard assessment for seismic design should quantitatively control the risk of
exceeding different limit states (LS) over the structure's lifetime. In fact, the geographical …

This study presents a time-dependent approach for seismic hazard in Tehran and
surrounding areas. Hazard is evaluated by combining background seismic activity, and …

The Korean peninsula is in a stable continental region with moderate seismicity. The first
and second largest instrumented earthquakes occurred in the peninsula on September 12 …

A systematic quantitative investigation into whether the mechanisms of large earthquakes
are unique could significantly deepen our understanding of fault rupture and seismicity …
