The ultimate and noble goal of seismology as a science is to find reliable means predict the place, time magnitude expected earthquake. There are significant achievements on way this goal: there fairly clear understanding chemical physics mechanics earthquake, indicators precursors approaching seismic events. However, remains be purely intellectual achievement; it looks like highly desirable bu...

Displacements induced by earthquake can be very large and result in severe damage to earth and earth supported structures including embankment dams, road embankments, excavations and retaining walls. It is important, therefore, to be able to predict such displacements. In this paper, a new approach to prediction of earthquake induced displacements of slopes (EIDS) using hybrid support vector re...
