The behavior of earthquake stress-drop magnitude scaling has been the topic of significant debate in the earthquake source community over the past two decades. Methodolog [...]

Critical Infrastructures (CIs) provide essential goods and services for modern society; they are highly integrated and have growing mutual dependencies. Recent natural ev [...]

Near-fault directivity effects can produce ground motions with high-amplitude, short duration pulses, which may cause serious damage to structures and buildings. Their pr [...]

The ergodic assumption considers the time sampling of ground shaking generated in a given region by successive earthquakes as equivalent to a spatial sampling of observed [...]
