Building exposure and vulnerability models for seismic risk assessment have been the focus of a number European projects in recent years, but there has never concerted effort among research community to produce uniform model. The Commission’s Horizon 2020 SERA project work package that is dedicated objective, through development an model, associated set fragility/vulnerability models, database socioeconomic indicators order calculate probabilistic integrated at scale. This article provides...
Recent seismic events show that urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to damage, which leads unprecedented levels of risk. Cities complex systems and as such their analysis requires a good understanding the interactions between space socioeconomic variables characteristic inhabitants space. There is clear need develop test detailed models describe behavior these under impact. This article develops an overall vulnerability index hazard based on spatial approach applied Bucharest, Romania,...
Abstract. Evaluating the performance of probabilistic seismic hazard models against recorded data and their potential to forecast future earthquake ground shaking is an emerging research topic. In this study, we evaluate test results recently released 2020 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM20; Danciu et al., 2021a, 2024) observations for several cities in Romania. The dataset consists ground-shaking recordings macroseismic that extend observational time period a few hundred years. full...
Bucharest can be considered Europe's most endangered capital to earthquakes. Intermediate-depth seismic events occurring in the Vrancea Area, with magnitudes greater than 7 MW, significantly affect city. In 20th century, experienced two major damaging earthquakes: 1940 and 1977. But occasioned lessons were not fully learned. The number of vulnerable buildings is nowadays considerable, as over 30% them built before 1963 (of which 22%, 1941). New factors among climate change, increased...
Abstract. Due to their widespread and continuous expansion, transportation networks are considerably exposed natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, landslides or hurricanes. The vulnerability of specific segments structures among bridges, tunnels, pumps storage tanks can translate not only into direct losses but also significant indirect at the systemic level. Cascading effects post-event traffic congestion, building debris tsunamis contribute an even greater level risk. To support...
Abstract The aim of this article is to analyze the background, current status, and outlook seismic monitoring products services in Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine. These countries manage networks that contribute European Integrated Data Archive node framework Observatories Research Facilities for Seismology, which represents a collaborative effort coordinating observational seismology across region through collection, archiving, dissemination waveform data, metadata, related products....
The Internet of things concept empowered by low-cost sensor technologies and headless computers has upscaled the applicability vibration monitoring systems in recent years. Raspberry Shake devices are among those systems, constituting a crowdsourcing framework forming worldwide seismic network over thousand nodes. While have been proven to densify seismograph arrays efficiently, their potential for structural health (SHM) is still unknown open discovery. This paper presents findings from...
Earthquake mechanism information is fundamental to determine the stress field and define seismogenic zones. At same time, it a basic input compute seismic hazard by deterministic approach. The present paper extends catalogue of fault plane solutions for earthquakes in Romania, previously completed until 1997, 1998 – 2012 time interval. limited geographically Carpathians Orogeny extra-Carpathians area located south-eastern part Romania because similar investigations cover rest country....
Abstract The Near Real-Time System for Estimating the Seismic Damage in Romania, implemented 2012 at National Institute Earth Physics, is one of automated systems that can directly contribute to saving many lives right after a major earthquake, by translating earthquake parameters into damage probabilities different areas within Romanian counties and showing emergency intervention necessities, also lead mitigation actions before an through raising awareness highlighting vulnerable aspects...
Southeastern Europe faces a significant earthquake threat, endangering lives, property, and infrastructure thus jeopardizing sustainable development. The development of Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS) designed to deliver crucial damage information for scenario planning, real-time response, bolstering public awareness preparedness is presented. In doing so, REDAS enhances community resilience safeguards sustainability. comprises platform (REDA.p), smartphone application, an...
Earthquakes can generate a significant number of casualties within seconds, as well high economic losses. The lack rapid and coordinated emergency intervention contribute to much greater In this paper we develop framework taking advantage the ArcGis Network Analyst extension, able account for post-earthquake conditions reflect travel times. By combining 1) network characteristics with 2) direct seismic damage information, 3) models determine road obstruction potential, 4) traffic information...
The seismic instrumentation of structures in order to assess their condition and track it over long periods or after representative events has proven be a topic large interest, under continuous development at international level. hazard Romania poses one the most dangerous threats for country, terms potential physical socio-economic losses. In recent years, taking advantage new scientific technological advances, among which exponential growth computational resources, significant improvements...
In the last years, thanks to implementation of ShakeMap software in real-time at National Institute for Earth Physics (NIEP) and within DACEA Project, a system that computes damage loss estimates (near) Romanian-Bulgarian border region was installed NIEP, producing data maps 7 Romanian Counties 9 Bulgarian Districts.This paper presents both integration mode results obtained by adding new counties into implemented system, also best ways GIS representation estimated damage.Of great interest is...
