Identification of expected seismic activity areas by forecasting complex seismic-mode parameters in Uzbekistan

Forecasting Seismic Signatures of Stellar Magnetic Activity

For the Sun, a tight correlation between various activity measures and oscillation frequencies is well documented. For other stars, we have abundant data on magnetic activity and its changes but not yet on its seismic signature. A prediction of the activity induced frequency changes in stars based on scaling the solar relations is presented. This seismic signature of the activity should be meas...

Earthquake forecasting during the complex Amatrice-Norcia seismic sequence

Earthquake forecasting is the ultimate challenge for seismologists, because it condenses the scientific knowledge about the earthquake occurrence process, and it is an essential component of any sound risk mitigation planning. It is commonly assumed that, in the short term, trustworthy earthquake forecasts are possible only for typical aftershock sequences, where the largest shock is followed b...

Expected Present Value of Losses in the Computation of Optimum Seismic Design Parameters

An approach to compute optimum seismic design parameters is presented. It is based on the optimization of the expected present value of the total cost, which includes the initial cost of structures as well as the cost due to earthquakes. Different types of seismicity models are considered, including one for characteristic earthquakes. Uncertainties are included in some variables to observe the ...

Seismic noise emission induced by seismic waves

The in situ rock undergoing different kinds of deformation accumulates elastic energy that can be released spontaneously o r under artificial effect. Triggering of energy can also be performed by means of a dynamic excitation caused by elastic waves. W e carried out special field investigations with the use of seismic vibrators (Vibroseis-like sources) to study the effect of the energy release ...
