The variability (sigma) associated with empirical ground-motion prediction equations has a significant impact on the results of seismic hazard analysis, and in some cases [...]

A review of the state-of the art of loss estimation methodology and software has been carried out as part of subproject JRA3 of the NERIES (Network of Research Infrastruc [...]

The seismic hazard and structural safety in Beira and Chimoio (Mozambique) are evaluated, since these cities were identified as being relatively close to potential seismi [...]

Earthquake loss modelling is a multidisciplinary activity which requires the collection of databases of earthquake activity, ground conditions, ground-motion prediction m [...]

This paper describes an assessment methodology to estimate losses resulting from structural damage to the building population in Greater Cairo. The adopted framework is a [...]

Nonlinear response-history analyses are used by the engineering community as the most reliable technique to estimate structural behaviour. In such analyses, besides an ad [...]
