In our rapidly urbanizing world, many hazard-prone regions face significant challenges
regarding risk-informed urban development. This study addresses this issue by investigating …

This paper presents a study of liquefaction analysis at sand layers of the Izumio site, under
ground motion variation during a strong earthquake in Osaka, Japan. Site investigation …

Northern Thailand has experienced several earthquakes which led to soil liquefaction in the
past few decades. Traditional methods of evaluating liquefaction potential involve standard …

Fragility functions are the key components of damage analysis for the next generation
performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE-2) framework. Despite being widely …

This study presents seismic fragility functions of reinforced concrete buildings affected by the
2015 Gorkha Earthquake in Nepal. The fragility functions are based on detailed damage …

Natural hazards are complex phenomena that can occur independently, simultaneously, or
in a series as cascading events. For any particular region, numerous single hazard maps …

Abstract During the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake (M w 7.8), extensive soil liquefaction was
observed across the Kathmandu Valley. As a densely populated urban settlement, the …

A simplified model to reproduce the pore pressure build-up until liquefaction under seismic
shear loads is implemented in a one-dimensional code for loosely coupled site response …

Liquefied soils may induce widespread permanent ground deformation in the vicinity of
abutments and cause extensive damage to bridge foundations during earthquakes. As such …

This paper outlines the seismic vulnerability of rural stone masonry buildings affected by the
2015 Gorkha earthquake sequence. Summary of field observation is presented first and …
