Recent earthquakes have revealed the vulnerability of electric power networks to seismic events. To assess their susceptibility to seismic shaking, a user-friendly damage simulator is …
A novel probabilistic methodology for regional seismic site characterization is proposed and applied to a region with highly heterogeneous surficial geology and varying soil sediment …
Visualisation of road traffic noise is vital for traffic noise planning policies. Several factors affect the noise from road traffic with physical and environmental conditions. Collecting noise …
Abstract The Groundwater Knowledge Acquisition Project (Programme d'acquisition de connaissances sur les eaux souterraines, PACES) in eastern Mauricie, Québec, aimed to …
Modern seismic risk assessment software includes seismic hazard analysis algorithms or relies on precomputed hazard maps. In both cases, a major step is incorporating the impacts …
This study presents a 3D regional modeling of seismic geology and shear wave velocity (Vs) in Metro Vancouver for seismic microzonation and hazard prediction. Leveraging an …
During a strong earthquake, the local geological and geotechnical conditions can significantly alter the earthquake shaking in terms of amplitude, frequency content, and …
Over recent years, seismic losses are increasing in terms of magnitude and frequency, thereby severely affecting societies and economies. The increase in seismic losses is mainly …
We perform a multimethod in situ seismic field campaign to assess variability in local site conditions throughout Essex County, Ontario, Canada. Fundamental peak frequencies …
