Lessons Learned from past Earthquakes
The development of design seismic forces is reviewed. The earthquake engineering was shown to have developed in the last 60 years. The characteristics of ground motion and structural response were gradually understood over the last five decades. The damage statistics from recent major earthquakes indicated that the severe damage was observed in taller buildings. The ratios of buildings with ope...
متن کاملProximity to Past Earthquakes as a Least-Astonishing Hypothesis for Forecasting Locations of Future Earthquakes
The Cellular Seismology (CS) method of Kafka (2002, 2007) is presented as a leastastonishing null hypothesis that serves as a useful standard of comparison for other, more complex, spatial forecast methods (i.e., methods that forecast the locations, but not the times, of earthquakes). Spatial forecast methods based on analyses of earthquakes in California such as that of Ebel et al. (2007) and ...

متن کاملTsunamigenic Earthquakes: Past and Present Milestones
We review a number of events which, taken individually, have significantly affected our understanding of the generation of tsunamis by earthquake sources and our efforts at mitigating their hazards, notably through the development of warning algorithms. Starting with the 1700 Cascadia earthquake, we examine how significant tsunamis have changed our views in fields as diverse as seismotectonics,...
متن کاملINDEPTH @ 10: celebrate the past and illuminate the future
O n the occasion of its 10th anniversary this year, the INDEPTH Network (www.indepth-network. org) can look back on some very significant accomplishments. It has established itself as an entity in the field of health research, has widespread brand recognition, and is known and respected globally. The Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) sites are healthy and vibrant hotbeds of grou...
