<p>The Northeast India region is one of the most active zones in the world; the region is jawed between the two arcs, the Himalayan arc to the north and the Indo-Burmese arc to the east. The region bounded by latitude 22-290N and longitude 90-980 E, produced ...

<p>Turkey, being located in a highly seismically active region, has experienced several devastating earthquakes throughout its history. The recent Mw 7.4 1999 Kocaeli and Mw 7.2 2011 Van earthquakes caused a considerable amount of economical losses and physical ...

The recent elevated rate of large earthquakes has fueled concern that the underlying global rate of earthquake activity has increased, which would have important implications for assessments of seismic hazard and our understanding of how faults interact. We ...

In this paper, a loss estimation evaluation for Christchurch CBD, with focus on reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, is conducted with the main aim to improve the reliability of current procedures to support the aforementioned decision-making process. Comparisons ...

We compare site-specific response spectra and hazard maps from the recently-updated national seismic hazard model (2010 NSHM) and predecessor NSHM of 2002. The new model incorporates over 200 new onshore and offshore fault sources, and utilises newly-developed ...

<p>Coloumbo submarine volcano lies 6.5 km offshore the NE part ofthe Santorini island complex and exhibits high seismicity along with vigorous hydrothermal activity. This study models the local stress field around Coloumbo&rsquo;s magma chamber and investigates ...

After the two recent earthquakes in Christchurch (September 2010 and February 2011) a team of researchers organized by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) was dispatched to the area to conduct a damage survey. The survey addressed a variety ...

In this paper deterministic seismic hazard analysis was performed for the city of Corinth.

<p>This Geotechnical Quick Report is written primarily for engineers and geologists interested in the effects of this massive earthquake on the built environment, US investigators planning field surveys, and researchers preparing RAPID proposals to NSF for ...

Hydropower plants with underground powerhouse contain different types of underground structures namely: diversion tunnels, headrace and tailrace tunnels, access tunnels, caverns grouting and inspection galleries etc. As earthquake ground shaking affects all ...
