In the context of seismic risk, studying characteristics urban soils and built environment means adopting a holistic vision city, taking step forward compared to current microzonation approach. Based on this principle, CLARA WebGIS aims collect, organize, disseminate available information buildings in area Matera. The geodatabase is populated with (i) 488 downloadable geological, geotechnical, ...

In the last 50 years, our vision of cerebellum has vastly evolved starting with Voogd’s (1967) description extracerebellar projections’ terminations and how projection maps transformed presumptive homogeneity cerebellar cortex into a more complex center subdivided transverse longitudinal distinct functional zones. The picture became still Richard Hawkes colleagues’ (Gravel et al., 1987) discove...

An empirical, energy-based methodology for liquefaction hazard assessment and microzonation mapping is presented. The approach is probabilistic, considers the uncertainty in the liquefaction criterion, and is applicable to most earthquake-induced liquefaction analyses. The examples illustrated are for water-saturated sands at level ground. The energy of ground shaking is estimated from the Four...

The 22 March 2020 Zagreb ML 5.5 earthquake ground shaking resulted in damage to buildings and infrastructure. most affected were older cultural heritage (built before 1963) the old city centre with significant extent epicentral zone (southeastern foothills of Medvednica Mt.). This study presents site response analysis on realistic profiles from epicentre towards accelerometric stations QUHS QAR...

In this work we assessed the shallow geothermal heat-exchange potential of a fluvial plain Central Apennines, lower Metauro Valley, where about 90,000 people live. Publicly available geognostic drilling data from Italian Seismic Microzonation studies have been exploited together with hydrogeological and thermophysical properties main geological formations area. These averaged over firsts 100 m ...

geological conditions of tabriz, a growing city in nw-iran, are strongly influenced by north tabriz fault (ntf). north tabriz fault is a major seismogenic fault in nw-iran. so, for a correct seismic microzonation, shear wave velocity (vs) structure in different part of city should be determined. but urban conditions, such as ambient noise due to cultural activity, restrict the general applicati...

SUMMARY In this paper, we simulate the earthquake that hit city of L’Aquila on 2009 April 6 using SPEED (SPectral Elements in Elastodynamics with Discontinuous Galerkin), an open-source code able to propagation seismic waves complex 3-D domains. Our model includes accurate reconstruction Quaternary deposits, according most up-to-date data obtained from Microzonation studies Central Italy and a ...
