<p>The basic aim of this paper is to evaluate the town of Edessa amplification due to geological conditions and to assess the liquefaction hazard.</p>

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 ...

Lateral movement of reclamations and ground adjoining rivers and foreshores can occur as a result of earthquake shaking. The mechanism of this lateral movement is discussed and methods of analysis used are presented. Both empirical and mechanics based methods ...

Behaviour of piles in liquefied soils is discussed based on results of recent<br>studies in Japan including (a) field performance and damage features of piles observed in the 1995 Kobe earthquake, (b) experimental findings from benchmark tests on full-size ...
