Abstract The southwest Iberia margin is widely believed to have hosted the 1755 Great Lisbon earthquake and ensuing tsunami, one of most destructive natural events in European history. Here we combine geophysical data numerical tsunami modelling investigate source mechanism responsible for this event. We find that an intra-plate, lithospheric¬-scale thrust fault located at Horseshoe Abyssal Pla...

Rammed earth technique is spread worldwide, representing the local identity of many cultures for which they must be preserved. Yet, rammed heritage also well known its high seismic vulnerability and despite increasing concern this aspect, few investigations were conducted on dynamic response such structures. In framework, an experimental program was undertaken a mock-up by means shake table tes...

This work presents a macroseismic analysis of the AD 1755 Lisbon Earthquake-Tsunami event by means combination intensity data derived from EMS-98 scale and ESI-07 (Environmental damage). About 600 records secondary earthquake environmental effects (EEEs) for whole Spain have been used to define intensities, focused on SW portion Iberian Peninsula. The Spanish complemented with 308 EEEs Portugal...
