In this paper, a seismic vulnerability assessment at large scale is described, within the SIMURAI project. A field survey was carried out in order to gather detailed information about geometric characteristics, structural typology and age of construction of each single building. An airborne Remote Sensing (RS) mission was also carried out over the municipality of Avellino, providing a detailed ...

Abstract Most of the buildings damaged by mainshock 2016 Kumamoto earthquake were concentrated in downtown Mashiki Prefecture, Japan. We obtained 1D subsurface velocity structures at 535 grid points covering this area based on 57 identified models, used linear and equivalent analyses to obtain site-specific ground motions, generated detailed distribution maps peak acceleration Mashiki. determin...

Animals exposed to anthropogenic disturbance make trade-offs between perceived risk and the cost of leaving disturbed areas. Impact assessments tend to focus on overt behavioural responses leading to displacement, but trade-offs may also impact individual energy budgets through reduced foraging performance. Previous studies found no evidence for broad-scale displacement of harbour porpoises exp...

The objectives of this task are to conduct research on seismic hazards, and provide relevant input on the expected levels of these hazards to other tasks. Other tasks requiring this input include those dealing with inventory, fragility curves, rehabilitation strategies and demonstration projects. The corresponding input is provided in various formats depending on the intended use: as peak groun...

The objectives of this task are both to conduct research on seismic hazards, and to provide relevant input on the expected levels of these hazards to other tasks. Other tasks requiring this input include those dealing with inventory, fragility curves, rehabilitation strategies and demonstration projects. The corresponding input is provided in various formats depending on the intended use: eithe...

The increased availability and fidelity of broadband seismic instruments have played a key role in bridging the gap between exploration and global seismic applications. Long gone are the days when global structure mapping and source characterization/monitoring relied on the manual digitization of WWSSN (World-Wide Standard Seismographic Network) analogue records or hours in front of microfiche ...

Shallow high-resolution seismic reflection techniques proved valuable in detecting, delineating, and advancing interpretations of a regional fault and associate local structural features previously speculated from sparse well data in northeastern Wisconsin. This seismic survey was the first of its kind in this part or Wisconsin and provided solid evidence that the method will work well in this ...

The current research talks about a designed accelerometer system which is able to measure every type of mechanical vibration. The applied vibration in this survey is called seismic wave. Then the measured wave by this novel system is transf ormed to a specif ic function using spline interpolation. This explicit function can be used as a reference signal in the technique PWM to be made in curren...
