<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 ...

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 ...

<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 ...

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 ...

The material in this document relates specifically to earthquake hazards, and should not be assumed to have wider applicability. It is intended to provide general guidance for geotechnical earthquake engineering. It is intended that, when properly used in ...

<p>Broadband synthetics obtained from scenario simulations of earthquakes with a frequency content between 0 and 10 Hz, referred to hereafter as &ldquo;BBSs,&rdquo; are playing an increasingly important role in seismic hazard analysis. An example is the Great ...

The probable mitigation and management issues of seismic hazard necessitate seismic microzonation for hazard and risk assessment at the local level. Such studies are preceded with those at a regional level. A comprehensive framework, therefore, encompasses ...

Stonecutters Bridge will have a main span of 1018m to cross the Rambler Channel in Hong Kong, China. The 1596m long cable stayed bridge has a steel main span and concrete back spans. The tapered mono column towers stand on the bridge centre line between the ...
