In an ongoing project, the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) is renewing and expanding its strong motion network. The goals of this enlargement are a better spatial cover [...]

In 2015, the reference probabilistic seismic hazard maps for Switzerland were updated. In order to cover epistemic uncertainties in ground-motion prediction two major set [...]

The recent experience of the EC-funded project REAKT (Strategies and Tools for Real-Time Earthquake Risk Reduction has consolidated the research efforts of project SAFER [...]

In Switzerland, nearly all historical MW ~> 6 earthquakes are associated to damaging rockslides, resulting in some cases into destruction of settlements and loss of li [...]

Damage and collapse in masonry structures often take place locally. Due to the dynamic action, the damage mechanisms develop as loss of equilibrium of rigid blocks capabl [...]

The reliability of long-period ground motion from digital strong motion data is first explored using records from co-located broadband and digital strong motion instrumen [...]
