The city of Noto belongs to a seismic area located on the eastern zone of Sicily (Italy). The
following in situ investigations were carried out in order to determine the soil geotechnical …

Nonlinear numerical modeling of masonry-infilled frames is one of the most complicated
problems in structural engineering field. This complexity is attributed to the existence of …

A phase picking algorithm has been developed for P-wave arrival detection and picking on a
3-component broadband seismogram. The algorithm is based on Wavelet Transform, Akaike …

During undrained cyclic loading of clayey soils, continuous pore pressure build-up changes
the effective stresses and decreases the stiffness and strength of the soil (eg Vucetic and …

The significance of near-surface attenuation in bedrock, as distinct from attenuation in
unconsolidated soft soil sediments, has been identified. The k parameter, which …

This paper gives a brief explanation of the earthquake in Bam, casualties, as well as a report
on rescue and relief operations, emergency shelters, temporary housing, and the country's …

An approximate method is proposed to estimate the seismic response of nonlinear
nonstructural components attached to nonlinear building structures. The method is based on …

The objective of this paper is to describe and illustrate a rational seismological modelling
approach for developing design earthquake response spectra for application in a moderate …

In this study three earthquake-induced rock fall hazard maps of the regions affected by
Varzeghan-Ahar earthquake doublet are presented. On August 11th 2012 an earthquake …

One of the major causes of train accidents is derailment due to axial or lateral buckling of the
track. This problem is more prominent in continuously welded rails (CWR), which are now …
