Local government, political decentralisation and resilience to natural hazard-associated disasters
(2017)Natural hazards affect development and can cause significant and long-term suffering for those affected. Research has shown that sustained long-term disaster preparedness combined with appropriate response and recovery are ... -
Methodology for automated GIS-aided seismic microzonation studies
(2008)This paper presents an automated methodology for performing geographic information system (GIS)-aided seismic microzonation studies. It presupposes the existence of a geotechnical database containing data from sampling ... -
MODELING, ANALYSIS AND RELIABILITY OF SEISMICALLY EXCITED STRUCTURES: COMPUTATIONAL ISSUES
(2008)A critical review of the current state of the art of the computing practices adopted by the earthquake engineering community is presented. Advanced computational tools are necessary for estimating the demand on seismically ... -
Resilience assessment of tunnels: Framework and application for tunnels in alluvial deposits exposed to seismic hazard
(2022)Transport infrastructure is the backbone of the economy and society, while at the same time is exposed to multiple hazards. Previous natural disasters, including earthquakes, had a significant impact on transport networks ... -
Seismic effective-stress analysis of caisson quay walls: Application to Kobe
(2005)Deformation-based seismic design of gravity quay-walls requires realistic computation of residual deformations. This article presents an effective-stress analysis method, which is based on an elasto-plastic constitutive ... -
A statistical study of precursor activity in earthquake-induced landslides
(2017)In this paper, a statistical study of precursor activity in earthquake-induced landslides by means of spring block models is presented. The dynamic behavior of the rock/soil slope can be studied by using the statistics of ...
