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 [...]

Húsavík, the second largest town in North Iceland, is effectively located, directly on top of the Húsavík–Flatey Fault (HFF), the largest transform fault in Iceland [...]

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

In Iceland, the most seismically active region in northern Europe, large earthquakes occur almost exclusively in two major fracture zones, the South Iceland Seismic Zone [...]

The Tjornes Fracture Zone (TFZ) of North Iceland is one of the most active seismic zones in northwestern Europe. While the earthquake of 1910 with M=7.2 is the largest ob [...]

In earthquake prone regions where strong-motion data is scarce, the reliability of strong ground motion simulations from large earthquakes depends heavily on realistic so [...]

A strong earthquake with moment magnitude 6.3 occurred in South Iceland on 28 May 2008. This earthquake caused a lot of damage to the buried pipelines in the small town o [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
