An identification procedure based on genetic algorithm is discussed in this paper. The procedure is aimed to calibrate a single-degree-of freedom (SDOF) model capable to [...]

In the year 2000 two earthquakes struck South-Iceland (17 June - M w 6.5; 21 June - M w 6.4). These were the largest earthquakes in South-Iceland since 1912 (M7) and were [...]

In this paper theoretical ground motion prediction model is applied to data from four of the largest earthquakes that occured in South Iceland from 1987-2008. The model i [...]

This contribution presents some results of a detailed site response analysis in a proposed wind farm site in South Iceland. The area under study is a valley Northwest of [...]

The dynamic response of a 5-MW land based wind turbine is calculated using different analysis methods. These methods include time history analysis using a large number of [...]

The 2015 Gorkha Earthquake and its aftershocks caused a major disaster in Nepal causing widespread casualties, injuries, and physical damage. Ground motion from the mains [...]

Seismic design of common engineering structures is based on the assumption that excitations at all support points are uniform or fully coherent. However, in lifeline stru [...]

The main objective of this paper is to provide estimates of coherency functions of strong ground motion at engineering bedrock within the El-Asnam region (North-West Alge [...]

Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) which quantify the attenuation of key earthquake strong-motion parameters with distance, have a major impact on seismic hazard [...]
