Observations have shown significant incoherence in earthquake ground motions measured at different locations within the spatial dimensions of large horizontally expanded [...]

The duration of strong shaking is one of the key parameters in engineering analysis and earthquake resistant design of structures, since the damaging effects of an earthq [...]

The aim of this paper is to compare the effects of different strong-motion estimation equations on the uniform hazard spectra. Three models are used in the comparison, wh [...]

A reliable estimate of potential fault displacements is needed in the engineering design of lifeline structures crossing potentially active faults, such as bridges, tunne [...]

This paper addresses the question of whether or not the perception of earthquake effects is gender dependent. The case considered is the South Iceland earthquake sequence [...]

The objective of this paper is to present a uniform probabilistic hazard representation of inelastic spectral ordinates and structural behaviour factors. The study area s [...]

A scaled physical model of a nonlinear elastic moment resisting frame is designed and tested both statically and dynamically with the aim to validate a numerical model as [...]

The tectonically unique and populated South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ) has been the location of numerous destructive earthquakes in the past. Its capability to produce e [...]

Iceland lies in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean as a superstructural part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic [...]
