An Evaluation of Earthquake Risk to Inca’s Historical Constructions
Seismic hazard analysis is performed for a representative zone in Peru, including the city of Cusco, the citadel of Machupicchu and the archeological complex of Choquequirao, constituting the area with important Inca heritage. This is considered to be the first step towards developing a rational approach to seismic risk analysis of the Inca’s architectural heritage. An evaluation of the vulnera...
متن کاملMULTIPLIERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
In this paper we shall study the multipliers on Banach algebras and We prove some results concerning Arens regularity and amenability of the Banach algebra M(A) of all multipliers on a given Banach algebra A. We also show that, under special hypotheses, each Jordan multiplier on a Banach algebra without order is a multiplier. Finally, we present some applications of m...
متن کاملBayesian historical earthquake relocation: an example from the 1909 Taipei earthquake
S U M M A R Y Locating earthquakes from the beginning of the modern instrumental period is complicated by the fact that there are few good-quality seismograms and what traveltimes do exist may be corrupted by both large phase-pick errors and clock errors. Here, we outline a Bayesian approach to simultaneous inference of not only the hypocentre location but also the clock errors at each station ...
متن کاملAn Overview of PEER’s Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering Methodology
Various analytical approaches to performance-based earthquake engineering are in development. This paper summarizes the approach being pursued by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center. It works in four stages: hazard analysis, structural analysis, damage analysis, and loss analysis. In the hazard analysis, one evaluates the seismic hazard at the facility site, producing samp...
متن کاملAn Historical View of Mechanical Failure Prevention Technology
In April 1967, 42 engineers and scientists concerned with the troublesome and costly problems of mechanical failures met at the Office of Naval Research to form the Mechanical Failures Prevention Group (MFPG). The participants, who represented several government agencies and industries, met to develop a forum to exchange information and innovative ideas on methods to avoid or predict mechanical...
