A deterministic seismic hazard analysis (DSHA) study was carried out for Nepal. The catalogue of earthquakes was updated for Nepal and the adjoining region (26°-31.7°N, [...]

For synthesis of tridimensional ground motions, the available deterministic approach is no longer efficient in high frequency range (say, >1 Hz) for computational limi [...]

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) has been developed and widely applied for about half a century. Meanwhile, it has been queried and debated unceasingly, esp [...]

Attenuation relations, also known as ground motion prediction equations, have been developed and adopted to assess seismic hazard. In almost every attenuation relation, a [...]

A source spectral model for stochastic synthesis of near-field ground motion was presented in this paper. It is 2 compared with the famous source spectral model ( ω ) by [...]

A pricing model for CAT bonds, based on engineering seismic risk assessment, is introduced. The occurring probability of a defined earthquake catastrophe, estimated by se [...]

As well known, pricing for earthquake insurance or CAT bonds, depends on the seismic risk in a city, in brief, the occurring probability of earthquake disaster. From a de [...]

Many methods for synthesize near-field ground motions have been presented so far, those can be generally divided into deterministic and stochastic approaches. In general, [...]

Near field ground motion in a shallow basin from strong earthquake occurred on a blind fault beneath is synthesized in this paper. A hybrid source model is adopted, which [...]

Firstly the Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction System is introduced briefly. This GIS-based system can generate an isoseismal automatically from given earthquak [...]
