In Umbria various seismic microzonation actions have been done over 38 years at the turn of 2 millennia. The evolutionary path made since 1980 was important and was as follows. 1980-For the first time, different areas of the territory... more

The HVSR method applied to seismic noise can be a very useful technique to map the site effects of the territory, to identify the thickness of the soft covering and so the depth of the seismic bedrock. The case of the urban area of... more
The so called “valley effect” relates to the typical seismic response of basin shaped bedrock filled by quaternary sediments. It is an aspect of the renown “local seismic effect” that shall be taken into account when dealing with... more
A comprehensive analytical as well as numerical treatment of seismological, geological, geomorphological and geotechnical concepts has been implemented through microzonation projects in the northeast Indian provinces of Sikkim Himalaya... more
A B S T R A C T In this work, we analyze the macroseismic fields of the main historical earthquakes occurred in western Liguria (northwestern Italy) in order to identify possible relations between the isoseismal patterns and the local... more

The earthquake record and the Code for design and construction in seismic regions in Bulgaria have shown that the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria is exposed to a high seismic risk due to local shallow and regional strong... more
La disponibilidad de modelos y técnicas de cálculo más refinadas para la evaluación de la amenaza sísmica, así como la existencia de una mayor cantidad de registros de eventos sísmicos, permite realizar una actualización de los estudios... more
Experience from past earthquakes has demonstrated the vulnerability of structures to seismically induced ground deformation. During earthquake, soil can fail due to liquefaction with devastating effect such as landslides, lateral... more
Abstract The seismic vulnerability of Kashmir basin is evident from the historical and instrumental earthquake records in general and the capital city of Srinagar in particular. An attempt is made here to deliver the seismic microzonation... more

A microzonation study for an industrial area located in Sicily (southern Italy) has been carried out through an integrated approach using GIS and modelling tools for subsurface geology, together with procedures for soil response... more
The 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake caused an extensive damage to various areas of Yogyakarta regions. The damage distribution indicates the role of local site effects during the earthquake as the damage extended from Bantul Regency in... more
The investigation of the site-effects using spectral ratio methods in the city of Timisoara is presented. A non-reference-site technique, often called Nakamura's method is used to determine the resonance frequencies, fr, of the... more
