The increased frequency of natural disasters and man-made catastrophes has caused major
disruptions to critical infrastructures (CI) such as water distribution networks (WDNs) …

The assessment of seismic risk at urban scale does not actually consider aspects related to
human behaviours, unlike other kind of events; moreover, the simulation of phases of …

A New Paradigm (data driven and not like the currently model driven) is needed for Reliable
Seismic Hazard Assessment RSHA. Neo-Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment …

A New Paradigm is needed for Reliable Seismic Hazard Assessment RSHA, not only from
consideration of (a) the huge human losses experienced in the many recently destructive …

Earthquake risk assessment at urban scale is actually based on site hazard, buildings
vulnerability and exposition, but does not consider human behaviours during both the event …

Neo-Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment (NDSHA), dating back to the turn of the
Millennium, is the new multi-disciplinary scenario-and physics-based approach for the …

Great earthquakes are one of the major threats to modern society due to their great
destructive power and unpredictability. The maximum credible earthquake (MCE) for a …

The fault activation (fault on) interrupts the enduring fault locking (fault off) and marks the
end of a seismic cycle in which the brittle-ductile transition (BDT) acts as a sort of switch. We …

Disaster risk is a combination of natural hazards, along with society's exposure and
vulnerability to them. Therefore, to ensure effective, long-term disaster risk reduction we …

This paper presents the effects of two key parameters, energy dissipation ratio and second
stiffness, on the seismic performance and resilience of self-centering prestressed concrete …
