GOODNESS-OF-FIT CRITERIA FOR BROADBAND SYNTHETIC SEISMOGRAMS, WITH APPLICATION TO THE 2008 MW 5.4 CHINO HILLS, CALIFORNIA, EARTHQUAKE (2010)
<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 ...

SEISMIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT – A HOLISTIC MICROZONATION APPROACH (2009)
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 ...

SEISMIC DESIGN OF STONECUTTERS BRIDGE, HONG KONG (2008)
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 ...

GRACE DETECTS COSEISMIC AND POSTSEISMIC DEFORMATION FROM THESUMATRA-ANDAMAN EARTHQUAKE (2007)
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 ...

SEISMIC HAZARD IN KARACHI, PAKISTAN: UNCERTAIN PAST, UNCERTAIN FUTURE (2007)
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.

PROBABILISTIC MODELING OF EARTHQUAKE HAZARD IN STABLE CONTINENTAL SHIELD OF THE INDIAN PENINSULA (2006)
<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 ...

RAPID DETERMINATION OF EARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDE USING GPS FOR TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEMS (2006)
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 ...

USE OF REMOTE SENSING AND SEISMOTECTONIC PARAMETERS FOR SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS OF BANGALORE (2006)
<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 ...

SOIL DYNAMICS AND THE EARTHQUAKE DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTHEN ARCHITECTURE OF THE ARG-E BAM (2004)
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, ...

EARTHQUAKES IN EUROPE NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN POLICY FOR THE PREVENTION AND MITIGATION OF SEISMIC DISASTER (2003)
<p>Natural hazards, such as earthquakes, landslides and floods, are often more devastating, in terms of loss of life and environmental damage, and also have potential to precipitate technological hazards. It is apparent that several types of natural hazards ...
