iran is a country in the middle part of the alp-himalayan orogeny system that have huge earthquakes. the risk of the earthquakes is the cause of the researches about the precursors. because earthquakes occur suddenly, often with devastating consequences, earthquake prediction is a matter of great interest among the public and emergency service officials. a few observations suggest that some ear...

bridges, as an essential part of transportation system, play a special role in economy, politic and military all around the world. serviceability of bridges is of high importance especially in emergencies, helping injured people and proportioning transportation after earthquakes. earthquake regulation codes, normally suggest linear methods to conduct the analysis, and nonlinear analysis is bare...

The occurrence of the September 28, 2004 Mw=6.0 mainshock at Parkfield, California, has significantly increased the mean and aperiodicity of the series of time intervals between mainshocks in this segment of the San Andreas fault. We use five different statistical distributions as renewal models to fit this new series and to estimate the time-dependent probability of the next Parkfield mainshoc...

Abstract Although Brazilian seismic activity is defined as low to moderate, it known that intraplate earthquakes can also be associated high intensities. In Brazil, the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) one most seismically active areas, but there no specific study evaluate hazard in this region. This paper presents analyses towards improving map, peak ground acceleration value and response spe...

the objective of this paper is to determine the drift demand hazard curves of steel moment-resisting frames with different number of stories in territory of tehran this is done through the combination of the results obtained from probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and the demand estimated through the best probabilistic seismic demand models. to select the best demand model, in this paper, a ...
