Background: Earthquake-prone regions from the stable continental regions (like Peninsular India) warrant total seismic hazard estimation from possible sources — reservoir induced or tectonic. The Koyna region falls in the so-called stable continental region, though previously considered as aseismic because of its location in the Peninsular India, which was argued to be the continental Shield re...

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...

Makran subduction zone, along the southern coasts of Iran and Pakistan, has a wide potential seismogenic zone may be capable generating large magnitude (M ~ 9) tsunamigenic earthquakes. Considering ambiguities exist in source characterization for megathrusts like Makran, where detailed geologic, seismic, geodetic data are insufficient, probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) is most preval...

 Large-scale subsurface fluid injection has the potential to trigger earthquakes. In addition to seismic hazard, reactivation of faults and fractures during CO2 injection has the potential to compromise storage integrity. These risks need to be taken into account when selecting potential carbon capture and storage (CCS) sites.  Deployment of seismometers at current large-scale CCS projects (m...

Determining the earthquake hazard of any settlement is one primary studies for reducing damage. Therefore, maps used this purpose must be renewed over time. Turkey Earthquake Hazard Map has been instead Zones since 2019. A probabilistic seismic was performed by using these last two and different attenuation relationships Bitlis Province (Eastern Turkey) were located in Lake Van Basin, which a h...

 Many existing bridges were designed without adequate consideration of seismic risk. The full or partial collapse of even one major bridge in a city or community would have destroying results. There has been focuses on developing fragility-based seismic vulnerability of existing usual bridges in Iran or support decision making on seismic upgrade. This article focuses on developing performance b...

The main objective of this article is to assess the expected seismic damage in reinforced concrete buildings from a probabilistic point of view by using Monte Carlo simulation. To do that, the seismic behavior of the building is studied by using random capacity obtained by considering the mechanical properties of the materials as random variables. Starting from the capacity curves, one can obta...

The Municipality of Bucharest is one of the capitals with the highest seismic risk in the world. Bucharest is particularly vulnerable to seismic hazard due to: the high density of inhabitants, especially within the residential districts with blocks of flats; the old public utility fund; the out-of-date infrastructure; the numerous industrial parks that are undergoing a restructuring process, no...

Seismic risk assessment of new and existing structures has a long history, which is based on the development specific methods for seismic hazard vulnerability analyses. Performance-based earthquake engineering natural evolution integration all these aspects that nowadays implemented in several precodes. However, some critical are not yet completely clarified. As matter fact, analysis suffers so...
