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 ...

In this study is shown that spherical harmonic (SH) solutions of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) are now of sufficient quality to observe effects of co-seismic and post-seismic deformation due to the rupture from the Mw = 9.3 Sumatra-Andaman ...

In this report is presented a critical review of the historical record as well as an overview of potential earthquake sources in and around Karachi.

<p>This paper presents the probabilistic assessment of seismic hazard associated with the stable continental shield of peninsular India (10&deg;N-26&deg;N; 68&deg;E-90&deg;E) in terms of peak ground accelerations for different levels of ground shaking. The ...

In this paper is shown that the earthquake's true size and tsunami potential can be determined using GlobalPositioning System (GPS) data up to only 15 min after earthquake initiation, by tracking the mean displacement of the Earth's surface associated with ...

<p>Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis (DSHA) for the Bangalore, India has been carried out by considering the past earthquakes, assumed subsurface fault ruptur lengths and point source synthetic ground motion model. The sources have been identified using ...

This paper presents findings that the collapse of the walls was from a combination of the effects of (1) the additive changes made to the walls, particularly in recent restorations, and (2) extensive damage from termites and loss of the cohesion of the clay, ...

Scenario earthquakes have been used for the design and safety assessment of nuclear power plant structures and equipments. Scenario earthquakes can be obtained from the deaggregation of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) results. In this study, ...

The seismic safety of 260 m high rock-fill dam in narrow and curved valley, located in seismically active area subjected to Maximum Credeble Earthquake (MCE) with Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) 0.5g has been investigated. A sequential nonlinear static and ...
