The main goal of this paper is to assess, from a probabilistic point of view, the seismic response of an unreinforced masonry building caused by the influence of the unce [...]

World-wide, regional, and local earthquake catalogues are used to analyze seismic time variation at global, regional and local scale. The quality of the catalogues is dis [...]

This study contributes to the development and application of the seismic risk assessment in big cities. It has been structured into two parts. The first part details the [...]

A seismic risk assessment of an informal settlement (in Mérida, Venezuela) is presented. IVIM and NVIM methodologies are used. NVIM concludes that the buildings are vuln [...]

The main goal of this article is to evaluate the structural behavior of steel buildings. The seismic performance of a specific steel building located in the campus of the [...]

In  developing  countries  the  lack  of  adequate  housing  for  low  income  population  is  a  critical  problem.  The  frequency  of  strong  seis [...]

A probabilistic approach to estimate the expected seismic physical damage of existing buildings in urban areas is presented. The main steps of the procedure are seismic h [...]
