Foreword The purpose of the Delta Risk Management Strategy (DRMS) Initial Technical Framework (ITF) is to guide the analysis of specific technical topics as they relate to assessing potential risks to Delta levees and assets resulting from various potential impacts (e.g., floods, earthquakes, subsidence, and climate change). These ITFs are considered " starting points " for the work that is to ...

The paper presents results of application of a machine learning method, namely the induction of classification and regression rules, for seismic hazard prediction in coal mines. The main aim of this research was to verify if machine learning methods would be able to predict seismic hazard more accurately than methods routinely used in Polish coal mines on the basis of data gathered by monitorin...

Landslides and their disastrous consequences on the environment human life have emphasized need for a better understanding of dangers associated with slope movement. The objective this research was to assess utilize mapping methods predicting hazards landslides thus limit damage these phenomena more effectively. In current investigation, multi-hazard employed in evaluating risk movements munici...

Taiwan is located on the Pacific seismic belt, and the soil conditions of Taiwan’s offshore wind farms are softer than those in Europe. To ensure safety and stability of the offshore wind turbine supporting structures, it is important to assess the offshore wind farms seismic forces reasonably. In this paper, the relevant seismic and geological data are obtained for Chang-Bin offshore wind farm...
