New developments for the performance-based assessment of seismically-induced slope displacements
(2020-11)
This study presents new developments for the performance-based assessment of seismically-induced slope displacements (D). Performance-based procedures enable a hazard-consistent and rational seismic design of slope systems; ...
Experimental seismic shear force amplification in scaled RC cantilever shear walls with base irregularities
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)
RC structural slender walls under large seismic excitation are expected to reach base moment capacity mainly affected by the first vibration mode. However, the base shear could be affected by higher modes once yielding in ...
Multiple plates subducting beneath Colombia, as illuminated by seismicity and velocity from the joint inversion of seismic and gravity data
Subduction beneath the northernmost Andes in Colombia is complex. Based on seismicity distributions, multiple segments of slab appear to be subducting, and arc volcanism ceases north of 5° N. Here, we illuminate the ...
Consideration of the seismic hazard on the land use planning of the Poas Canton, Costa Rica [Consideración de la amenaza sísmica en el ordenamiento territorial del Cantón De Poás, Costa Rica]
(Boletin de Geologia, 2016-07-03)
To incorporate the seismic hazard assessment in the land use planning can be done using seismic methods and Geographic Information System (GIS), in order to avoid the use of simplifications provided in law. In this paper, ...
The April 22, 1991 Limón (Costa Rica) earthquake
(1994)
The 1992 main Limón earthquake had Ms 7.6, strong-motion duration (at San Isidro) 26.6s and maximum MM intensity XI. With epicenter near the Caribbean coast, the shapes of its isoseismals differ markedly from the code-specified ...
