Seismic Risk - Why It Should Be Considered and Impediments to Implementation - An Earthquake Center Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
Selection of acceptable seismic risk revolves around significant societal and engineering concerns. One approach relies on cost-effective quantitative enhancement of seismic resilience for critical structures and systems. A Center perspective can provide a coordinated research framework to develop the advanced knowledge and technologies needed to develop the integrated engineering tools, decision-support systems, and related techniques, and procedures needed for that purpose.

Seismic Risk Assessment of Power Substations
Power networks are among the most important infrastructures that without them, industrial, economic and social procedures will halt. Therefore, they should be planned for the most difficult conditions to provide services with minimum disruption. Power substations are of great importance to a power network, because any disruption in their components can produce extensive problems through the net...
متن کاملپراکندگی لرزهخیزی در ایران
The Iranian plateau formed by the active tectonics of the Alpine-Himalayan belt, is situated between the Eurasian and Arabian plates. The plateau is considered as one of the most seismically active regions in the world and is faced with different earthquakes each year. Active tectonic conditions, different faults and seismic sources and a large population in earthquake-prone areas mak...
متن کاملThe Importance of Soil and Alluvial and Quaternary Deposits Conditions in Seismic Risk Analysis
The land of Iran is a seismic active prone that is located in the mountainous and instable crust due to special geological position. Continuous tectonic stress from the Arabic and Indian plates has exposed seismic active faults. The huge and destructive earthquakes that occur every few years in this area reflect the tectonic conditions of the plateau of Iran. Since, the path of faults and fract...
متن کاملSimple Pile-Soil Interaction Effect on Seismic Response of Fixed Offshore Platforms
In this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. InducedSeismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. According to API, Seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...
