This article is concerned primarily with the evaluation of size and location northern Indian southern Tibetan earthquakes during last 200 yr. It draws attention to problems assessing intensity early more recent in a built environment, which different from that for scale has been constructed way isoseismals are drawn. Through re-evaluation intensities reassessment isoseismals, formula estimation surface wave magnitude using isoseismal radii derived. used estimate magnitudes 16 occurred region...

Multi-hazard events, characterized by the simultaneous, cascading, or cumulative occurrence of multiple natural hazards, pose a significant threat to human lives and assets. This is primarily due cascading effects arising from interplay various hazards across space time. However, their identification challenging, which attributable complex nature hazard interactions limited availability multi-hazard observations. study presents an approach for identifying events during past 123 years...
Abstract. An evaluation of the risk to an exposed element from a hazardous event requires consideration element's vulnerability, which expresses its propensity suffer damage. This concept allows assessed level hazard be translated estimated and is often used evaluate earthquakes cyclones. However, for other natural perils, such as mass movements, coastal erosion volcanoes, incorporation vulnerability within assessment not well established consequently quantitative estimations are made....
This study derives ground-motion prediction equations for the horizontal elastic response spectral acceleration 5% damping application to Indian Himalayas. The present include a consideration of site category (rock/soil) and style-of-faulting (strike-slip/reverse). Due lack near-field data from India, additional strong-motion have been included Zagros region Iran, which has comparable seismotectonics Himalayas (continental compression). A set 201 records 16 earthquakes were used within...
Ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) relate ground intensity measures to variables describing earthquake source, path, and site effects. From many available GMPEs, we select those models recommended for use in seismic hazard assessments the Global Earthquake Model. We present a GMPE selection procedure that evaluates multidimensional trends (e.g., with respect magnitude, distance, structural period), examines functional forms, published quantitative tests of performance against...
Abstract Fragility curves are generally developed using a single parameter to relate the level of shaking expected structural damage. The main goal this work is use several parameters characterize earthquake ground motion. fragility will, therefore, become surfaces when motion represented by two parameters. To end, roles various strong‐motion on induced damage in structure compared through nonlinear time‐history numerical calculations. A robust model that can be used perform numerous dynamic...
Induced seismicity from anthropogenic sources can be a significant nuisance to local population and in extreme cases lead damage vulnerable structures. One type of induced particular recent concern, which, some cases, limit development potentially important clean energy source, is that associated with geothermal power production. A key requirement for the accurate assessment seismic hazard (and risk) ground-motion prediction equation (GMPE) predicts level earthquake shaking (in terms of,...
This paper presents a new approach for the derivation of fragility curves, named FRAgility through Capacity spectrum ASsessment (FRACAS). FRACAS adapts capacity assessment method and uses inelastic response spectra derived from earthquake ground motion accelerograms to construct curves. Following description approach, compares predicted maximum interstory drift (MIDR) obtained nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHA) two case-study buildings subjected 150 natural accelerograms. is seen...
