An evaluation method of robustness of base-isolation building-connection hybrid controlled building structures is developed by introducing a measure for robustness (robustness function) and considering shallow and deep ground uncertainties. The earthquake ground-motion amplitude at the earthquake bedrock is evaluated by the Boore’s stochastic method including the fault rupture and the wave prop...

A devastating earthquake with a magnitude of Mw 7.4 occurred on the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) of Turkey on August 17, 1999 at 00:01:39 UTC (3:01 a.m. local time). The aim of this study is to propose a new approach to automatically identify earthquake induced damage areas which can provide valuable information to support emergency response and recovery assessment procedures. This researc...

The methodology in the seismic design of slopes has evolved with technological advancement and development geotechnical engineering, methods great limitations such as pseudostatic analysis to rigorous that require a lot information for better understanding behavior soil dynamic analysis. This article develops procedure, comparison application simplified earthquake-induced displacement methods, ...

The great Sumatra–Andaman earthquake of 26 December 2004 (UTC 00:58:53) was a momentous event, whether measured by scientific or human standards. Sadly, what is currently regarded as the third largest earthquake in recorded history led to the worst tsunami disaster in recorded history, with the loss of more than 200,000 lives and devastation throughout the Bay of Bengal. About three months late...

Strong earthquakes induce a large number of secondary disasters, such as landslides, which bring serious challenges to post-disaster emergency rescue, and the rapid accurate assessment earthquake-induced landslide disasters is crucial for post-earthquake rescue. This research aims propose an model that suitable specifically targeting first 72 h after earthquake rescue guidance. The combines rem...

Slow slip events (SSEs) are another mode of fault deformation than the fast faulting of regular earthquakes. Such transient episodes have been observed at plate boundaries in a number of subduction zones around the globe. The SSEs near the Boso Peninsula, central Japan, are among the most documented SSEs, with the longest repeating history, of almost 30 y, and have a recurrence interval of 5 to...
