Seismic Loss Assessment in Algeria Using the Tool QLARM

Assessment of seismic loss dependence using copula.

The catastrophic nature of seismic risk is attributed to spatiotemporal correlation of seismic losses of buildings and infrastructure. For seismic risk management, such correlated seismic effects must be adequately taken into account, since they affect the probability distribution of aggregate seismic losses of spatially distributed structures significantly, and its upper tail behavior can be o...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

SELENA - An open-source tool for seismic risk and loss assessment using a logic tree computation procedure

١٣ ١٤ The era of earthquake risk and loss estimation basically began with the seminal paper on ١٥ earthquake, the first studies placed strong emphasis on the prediction of human losses ١٧ (number of casualties and injured) and to foresee the needs in terms of health care and ١٨ shelters in the immediate aftermath of a strong event. In contrast to the early risk modeling ١٩ efforts, the later st...
