The current state of practice in the estimation of liquefaction-induced building settlements (LIBS) relies on pseudoprobabilistic approaches in which the estimation of ground motion intensity measures (IMs) is separated ...

The safety assessment of cosmetic products is based on the safety of the ingredients, which requires information on chemical structures, toxicological profiles, and exposure data. Approximately 6% of the population is ...

A new computational platform for seismic hazard assessment is presented. The platform, named SeismicHazard, allows characterizing the intensity, uncertainty, and likelihood of ground motions from subduction-zone (shallow ...

This study presents a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for the central part of northern Algeria using two complementary seismic models: a fault-based model and a gridded seismicity model. Two ground-motion attenuation ...

Lahars are catastrophic events that have the potential to cause the loss of life and damage to infrastructure over inhabited areas. Consequently the zoning of associated hazards is a critical task. We evaluated the lahar ...

Steep slopes in subtropical zones are always at risk from landslides. The risk greatly increases when there is rapid, unplanned urban growth. This has happened at Ubatuba on the Brazilian coast - tourism-related development ...
