Accurate assessment of earthquake-related hazards (both primary and secondary) is essential to mitigate and control disaster risk exposure effectively. To date, various approaches and tools have been ...

These GMPEs are essential tools for seismic hazard assessment and risk analysis. They are used to estimate the potential ground shaking at a specific location from a future earthquake, which can help ...

and earthquake hazard forecasting. We tackle these problems by integrating: Our active research includes documenting and understanding how shallow fault damage develops and distributes earthquake slip ...

Abstract: The creation of a magnitude-homogenized catalogue is often one of the most fundamental steps in seismic hazard ... source tools are developed that can utilize this, or any other compiled ...

With each release or update of a National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM), a variety of earthquake catalogs are compiled and subsequently processed to remove duplicate, dependent (foreshocks and ...

The atlas contains generated high-quality seismic hazard ground motion maps that will serve as a critical tool for structural design and urban planning in earthquake-prone areas, Bacolcol said.

Many areas prone to earthquake hazards now use building codes. Any new building or adjustment to existing buildings must be built to strict guidelines that would protect people from future ...

The Bam earthquake is one in a series of large earthquakes involving faulting along the western edge of the Lut desert. In addition to the unruptured parts of the faults near Bam itself, continuing ...
