This book provides a comprehensive guide to the design of foundations for tall buildings.
After a general review of the characteristics of tall buildings, various foundation options are …

In a previous study published in this journal, the authors developed a comprehensive
methodology for modelling the shear wave velocity profile in crustal rock, for purposes of …

The rate of occurrence of intraplate earthquake events has been surveyed around the globe
to ascertain the average level of intraplate seismic activities on land. Elastic response …

Ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs), which give estimates of ground motion
parameters for any given earthquake scenario expressed in terms of magnitude, distance …

P-wave velocity data along with the thickness of sedimentary and crystalline layers within
bedrock were collected from all global regions and presented in the Global Crustal Model …

A model developed recently for conversion of instrumental data to Modified Mercalli Intensity
data in North America has been evaluated in this study which employed strong motion …

Seismic attenuation behaviour is controlled by a large number of wave modification
mechanisms. The characteristics of some of these mechanisms are specific to a local area …

Reinforced concrete (RC) core walls are commonly used to provide buildings with lateral
and torsional resistance against the actions of wind and earthquakes. In low-to-moderate …

This research investigates the development of analytical fragility functions for reinforced
concrete shear wall buildings in Australia. A building stock for the city of Melbourne is used …

In low-to-moderate seismicity (intraplate) regions where locally recorded strong motion data
are too scare for conventional regression analysis, stochastic simulations based on …
