Integrate land and water use planning at the scale of the urban master plan
The survival of cities as living beings and their inhabitants depends on the supply of water. Numerous factors such as population growth, climate, drought, consumption pattern, amount of available water resources and utility network affect the equation of water supply and consumption. What has been less considered in the traditional planning process than ever before is the connection between la...
متن کاملSeismic Risk Assessment of Power Substations
Power networks are among the most important infrastructures that without them, industrial, economic and social procedures will halt. Therefore, they should be planned for the most difficult conditions to provide services with minimum disruption. Power substations are of great importance to a power network, because any disruption in their components can produce extensive problems through the net...
متن کاملComputer-aided Risk Assessment at Urban Scale. Model Definition and Validation on a Case Study
Disaster risk reduction has become a global urgent need. Similarly to other natural hazards, earthquakes may cause significant damages on a large scale. In Europe, seismic events mainly affect historical city centers, which are characterized by dense urban structure, usually constituted by ancient masonry and pre-code R.C. buildings, often in aggregate sequence. Historical city centers are very...
متن کاملSeismic Risk Assessment of Urban and Rural Settlements around Lake Malawi
The seismic risk potential for Malawi is high because traditional adobe and earthen structures are seismically vulnerable and large earthquakes of Mw7.0 or greater may occur in the Malawi Rift. To assess seismic risk of the Malawian communities quantitatively, data and models for exposure, hazard, and vulnerability modules that are suitable for Malawi are integrated. The developed risk model is...
متن کاملComparison of seismic and borehole data at the same scale
Well-log measurements and seismic measurements should be compared at the same scale. The conversion of highly detailed borehole data into less detailed seismic data has to be done in a specific way considering conclusions from scaling analysis. One has to be careful with the differentiation to convert borehole acoustic impedance into reflectivity. In addition coarsening has to occur in such a w...
