Based on Biot’s theory and the indirect boundary element method (IBEM), Monte Carlo is utilized to generate random samples calculate displacement response of a saturated sedimentary valley under SV wave incidence. The purpose this paper explore effects randomness porosity, permeability coefficient, geometric shape seismic amplification effect complex sites. It shown that change media porosity i...

Seismic microzonation is defined as the process of subdividing a potential seismic or earthquake-prone area into zones with respect to some geological and geophysical characteristics sites such ground shaking, liquefaction susceptibility, landslide, rock fall hazard, earthquake-related flooding, etc. Very often, data are used from existing motion that related other geographical regions thus lea...

in this paper, an advanced formulation of the spectral finite element method (sfem) is presented and applied in order to carry out site response analysis of 2d topographic structures subjected to vertically propagating incident in-plane waves in time-domain. the accuracy, efficiency and applicability of the formulation are demonstrated by solving some wave scattering examples. a numerical param...

The Karmania Hazard Model (KHM) is a GIS-based application for earthquake scenario development and disaster management. The lack of integrated and automated tools for estimating resources needed in the aftermath of an earthquake during the disaster response phase motivated the design and implementation of a comprehensive, interactive, and user-friendly model. This model draws on datasets integr...

Earthquake engineering becomes a media issue for the four/six weeks which follow a catastrophic event. These periods of interaction between the societal actors and the topic experts is fruitful in terms of understanding how the scientists should arrange a state of the art. In particular, after the Central Italy event of April 6, 2009, among others, the following items arose: how coarse has to b...

Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis (DSHA) for the Bangalore, India has been carried out by considering the past earthquakes, assumed subsurface fault rupture lengths and point source synthetic ground motion model. The sources have been identified using satellite remote sensing images and seismotectonic atlas map of India and relevant field studies. Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE) has been ...
