SELECTION OF GROUND MOTION PREDICTION EQUATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE MODEL (2015)
<p>Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) relate ground-motion intensity measures to variables describing earthquake source, path, and site effects. We select from many available GMPEs those models recommended for use in seismic hazard assessments in the ...

COMPILATION AND CRITICAL REVIEW OF GMPES FOR THE GEM-PEER GLOBAL GMPES PROJECT (2012)
<p>Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) relate a ground-motion parameter (e.g. peak ground acceleration, PGA) to a set of explanatory variables describing the source, wave propagation path and site conditions. In the past five decades many hundreds of ...

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF TUNNELS UNDER SEVERE SEISMIC CONDITIONS. THE CASE OF KADIKOY-KARTAL METRO LINE IN ISTANBUL (2011)
<p>This article describes briefly the main assessments on the approaches used by engineers in quantifying the seismic effect on an underground structure, both referring to deterministic either probabilistic methods. However, the main purpose is that of proposing ...

SEISMIC ASPECTS OF UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES OF HYDROPOWER PLANTS (2011)
<p>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 ...

LOW SLIP-RATE FAULTS AROUND BIG CITIES: A CHALLENGING THREAT. THE AFINDAI FAULT AS A CASE STUDY FOR THE CITY OF ATHENS (2008)
<p>Low slip-rate faults tend to have large recurrence intervals and are usually regarded that they represent a low hazard probability. However, when these faults neighboring a large city, the risk becomes high. The Afidnai fault is a low slip-rate fault that ...

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 ...

THE 1906 EARTHQUAKE AND A CENTURY OF PROGRESS IN UNDERSTANDING EARTHQUAKES AND THEIR HAZARDS (2006)
<p>While the 1906 earthquake marked a seminal event in the history of California, it can also be remembered as the birth of modern earthquake science in the United States. It was the first time that an earthquake was recognized and documented as the result ...

EVALUATION OF EARTHQUAKE SAFETY OF NEW AND EXISTING DAMS. TRENDS AND EXPERIENCE (2004)
<p>Existing dams have been evaluated according to the current knowledge at the time of their construction. But these evaluations do not satisfy the current safety needs. In practice, for new dams the procedures recommended by ICOLD are applied. The general ...
