sarcheshmeh copper mine, with the final reserves of 828 million tons of sulfur ore and average grade of 0.74%, is known to be the largest open pit of iran and most probably the second largest copper mine in the world. this mine is located in the seismotectonic zone of central-iran, and 23 km away from the 150 km long rafsanjan active fault.in this study the vulnerability of the west wall of the...

This paper study the recent seismicity in Earthquake hazard zones in India. A large historical earthquake event catalog to cover the period of 1900-2018, the parameters date, time, latitude, longitude, depth and magnitude has been used to calculating frequency-magnitude distribution (b-value) of seismic hazard zones in India. To convert different magnitude scales into a single moment magnitude ...

according to iranian code of practice for seismic resistant design of buildings standard no. 2800, yazd is located in the place with the medium earthquake hazard [1]. due to the position of yazd with many historical and important buildings, maintaining these traditional heritages is an important task in civil engineering field. on account of these mentioned valuable buildings and region potenti...

Seismic hazard and risk are fundamentally different concepts. Seismic hazard describes phenomena generated by earthquakes that have potential to cause harm, but seismic risk is the likelihood (chance) of experiencing a specified level of seismic hazard in a given time exposure. Seismic hazard occurs naturally and can be evaluated from instrumental, historical, and geological observations. Seism...

Interaction between a structure under base excitation and heavy non-structural elements that it supports is significant in the seismic analysis and design of the structure. Heavy non-structural elements may slide/rock under base excitation, and this dynamic action affects the seismic behavior of the supporting structure. Hence, in this study, a numerical model was presented to describe the seis...

growing environmental and social concerns, both on the part of decision makers and public opinion, have brought a new perspective to the perception of hazard assessments a valid alternative in the long-term, and an effective complement in short and medium terms, to traditional design procedure for a resistant and safe environment. results of the gradual development of research on the probabilis...
