Abstract:
Major earthquakes occur somewhere every year with accompanying devastations. For example, the center of the city of Managua was destroyed completely in December 1972 with the loss of more than 15,000 lives. Government buildings also did not escape destruction which brought about a paralysis in Governmental functioning for a short time. In April of the same year, in Iran an earthquake of magnitude 6.9 attacked the town of Ghir causing the loss of 5,000 lives. Large earthquakes accompanied by large losses of life occur frequently in Iran. Another type of earthquake destruction was caused in Peru in 1970 resulting in the loss of more than 50,000 lives under a huge mud slide that accompanied the big earthquake. In 1971, the San Fernando Earthquake, in the U.S.A. caused very heavy damage to the modern reinforced concrete buildings and highway overpasses calling serious attention to the devastation which might be brought about in modern large cities if a destructive earthquake should occur. The figure for lives lost by the San Fernando earthquake was small, assisted by the extremely lucky time of the occurrence of the earthquake at 6 A.M., when daily activity had not yet started. In 1968 an earthquake occurred in the city of Manila, the Philippines, crashing down completely an apartment house burying 260 people under the debris together with the destruction of many large reinforced concrete buildings. In the same year another big earthquake occurred in the northern part of Japan causing very heavy damage to the reinforced concrete buildings, all of which had been designed to resist earthquake force according to the Japanese regulations for antiseismic design. Repeated destruction of reinforced concrete buildings by earthquakes in recent years has caused a questioning of construction engineering. Such heavy destruction as experienced by reinforced concrete buildings in this earthquake (buildings which were designed and constructed under the antiseismic regulations) raised serious discussions among Japanese earthquake engineers which call for urgent studies. In Table 1 is shown a list of earthquakes that have resulted in heavy destruction since 1960. It may be surprising to find that about 20 earthquakes are included in the table showing that an average of three earthquakes of a destructive nature occurs somewhere on earth every two years. According to UNESCO statistics, between 1926 and 1950 over 350,000 people were killed by earthquakes, and the damage to buildings and public works totaled nearly $ 10,000 million. In proportion to the spread of urban civilization throughout the world, the toll taken by these destructive earthquakes has been steadily increasing and will increase more rapidly in the future. The only way to ensure against these substantial economic losses is to design and build, and to strengthen existing buildings, in such a way that the structure will resist the seismic forces to be expected in each area.

Abstract:
Earthquake Engineering in Australia, as elsewhere, has been formatted in the aftermath of damaging earthquakes. The first Australian Code AS2121-1979 was written and published after the 1968 Meckering WA earthquake. The second AS1170.4 1993 was published after the 1989 Newcastle NSW earthquake. Good quality Building Codes are a necessary basis for sound earthquake resistant designs. Both implementation and enforcement of the codes and sound robust construction in the field are essential for the protection of life and infrastructure. Also essential is the preservation and upgrading of the earthquake database. A study to assist the safer operation of emergency services immediately following damaging earthquakes is proposed.

Abstract:
The recent 75th anniversary of the 1931 Hawke’s Bay Earthquake reminds us that a particular earthquake can have a great effect on the development of engineering methods to contend with this natural hazard. Factors other than the occurrence of a single earthquake are also present before and after such a historically important event, and there are examples of countries that began on the path toward modern earthquake engineering in the absence of any particular earthquake playing an important causal role. An earthquake that was large in seismological (e.g. magnitude) or engineering (e.g. destructiveness) measures may have had little effect on engineering tools developed to contend with the earthquake problem. The history of earthquake engineering is not merely a set of events rigidly tied to a chronology of major earthquakes. Nonetheless, some significant earthquakes have been step function events on the graph of long-term progress in earthquake engineering. Only earthquakes that bring together several prerequisites have had such historic effects, creating in a country a beachhead for earthquake engineering that persisted in the following decades. In this brief historical review, the following seminal earthquakes are discussed: 1906 Northern California, United States; 1908 Reggio-Messina, Italy; 1923 Kanto, Japan; 1931 Mach and 1935 Quetta, India-Pakistan; 1931 Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.

Abstract:
China is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world and has suffered many disasters. During the last twenty years, especially since the Tangshan earthquake of July 1976 which killed 242,000 people and disabled almost 200,000 people, the Chinese government and the whole society have paid more attention to and made a huge effort to deal with earthquakes. Earthquake engineering became an essential project in the whole country and much more progress has been made since then. In this paper, some brief information about Chinese earthquakes and earthquake engineering is given. It is a simple introduction only, to give a general understanding of China's earthquake problems.

Abstract:
Recent earthquakes have caused unacceptably high death tolls. We, the editors of the World Housing Encyclopedia, believe that reducing such an unacceptably high loss of life from earthquakes is the most important challenge facing the global earthquake engineering community. This paper acknowledges the continuing disparity between life loss from earthquakes in developing and developed countries, and the increasing vulnerability in developing countries. A sampling of current efforts to improve construction practices includes the publication of earthquake tips in India, construction manuals in Colombia, and the formation of various international networks to promote collaboration and information sharing. Future possibilities include more rewards for research into inadequately engineered construction, greater emphasis on small-scale, local efforts, and a stronger emphasis on advocacy. We believe that all of us, as earthquake professionals, have a responsibility to make the built environment safer worldwide.

Abstract:
Earthquake science and engineering are experience-driven fields in which lessons are learned after each significant earthquake. Remote sensing represents a suite of technologies that can play a significant role in documenting the effects of earthquakes and lead to important developments in our understanding of earthquakes. This paper describes current remote sensing technologies and the experience to date in using them in earthquake studies. The most promising activities that may benefit from remote sensing data products are identified, as well as the challenges that may impede the widespread use of remote sensing in earthquake studies. A comprehensive review of the use of remote sensing to document the effects of the 2003 Bam, Iran earthquake is presented, and recommendations for future developments in remote sensing in the context of earthquake science and engineering are provided.

Abstract:
Japan has one of the highest levels of seismicity in the world. In the last few decades, Japan has been the site of many destructive earthquakes, such as the 1995 Kobe earthquake, 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake, 2004 Chuetsu earthquake, 2007 Chuetsu-oki earthquake, and 2016 Kumamoto earthquake/Tottori-chubu earthquakes. Furthermore, we need to take disaster mitigation countermeasures in preparation for the next Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake, Tokyo earthquake, etc. Disaster countermeasures against these earthquakes will be of vital importance to Japanese society in the future. As a specific example, if and when the next Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake strikes, it will cause widespread and compound disasters on the island of Shikoku and in southwestern Japan in general. The prefectures of Kagawa, Tokushima, Kochi, and Ehime are all on the island of Shikoku, yet the damages that a future Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake will cause are predicted to be quite different in each prefecture. Therefore, in preparing disaster mitigation strategies for the coming Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake, these four prefectures and the distinguished universities involved in disaster mitigation research and education in them must be united in collaboration while making the best use of the individual characteristics of the prefectures and universities. Specifically, in terms of disaster mitigation preparations, universities on Shikoku have to develop and advance resilience science as it relates to upcoming disasters from a Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake, inland earthquakes, typhoons, floods, etc. In this special issue, many significant research papers from the fields of engineering, geoscience, and the social sciences by researchers from distinguished universities on the island of Shikoku focus on resilience science. We must apply their findings to society, putting them into practice to mitigate potential damages from any future natural events.

Data and technical knowledge gained from postearthquake investigations of a dozen earthquakes since the 1964 Prince William Sound, Alaska, earthquake have significantly advanced the state-of-knowledge about earthquakes. These advances have motivated new and (or) improved programs, applications, and changes in public policy, including (1) the 1977 National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program and its extensions, (2) earthquake prediction research, (3) deterministic and probabilistic hazards assessments, (4) design criteria for critical facilities, (5) earthquake-resistant design provisions of building codes, (6) seismic safety elements, (7) seismic microzoning, (8) lifeline engineering, and (9) seismic safety organizations. To date, the 1971 San Fernando, California, earthquake has triggered more rapid advances in knowledge and applications than any other earthquake.

Accomplishments in earthquake engineering under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) have been numerous since the inception of the federal program in 1977 and are noted herein with a series of examples of former and present work done by NSF, FEMA, NIST and their investigators. These examples illustrate the implementation of research and development towards reducing earthquake losses, and include projects done to (a) better understand response of constructed facilities to earthquakes, (b) develop improved national standards and practices for planning, design and construction of earthquake resistant facilities, (c) develop methods for assessment of vulnerability of existing facilities to earthquake effects, and (d) develop methods for strengthening or repair of vulnerable facilities. Future frontiers in earthquake engineering research are also discussed including cross-disciplinary approaches of newly established national earthquake engineering research centers that are directed at minimizing losses to communities and national networks.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of railway engineering, the scope of railway construction has been extended to mountainous areas, basins and other geological environments. In these areas, railway construction needs to pay attention to landslides, earthquakes and other disasters, otherwise it will threaten unnecessary economic losses and even personal safety. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the disaster threats faced by railways and the measures to prevent these disasters, especially earthquakes and landslides, and to look at the future development trend of prevention and control. Earthquake early warning is one of the effective means to improve the safety of high-speed railway. As for the railway crossing the high earthquake wind area, it can be considered to establish the earthquake early warning and monitoring system for effective protection. For landslide disaster, interference should be reduced in the construction process, and special evaluation and targeted engineering treatment.

Abstract:

The objective for this thesis is to outline a Performance-Based Engineering (PBE) framework to address the multiple hazards of Earthquake (EQ) and subsequent Fire Following Earthquake (FFE). Currently, fire codes for the United States are largely empirical and prescriptive in nature. The reliance on prescriptive requirements makes quantifying sustained damage due to fire difficult. Additionally, the empirical standards have resulted from individual member or individual assembly furnace testing, which have been shown to differ greatly from full structural system behavior. The very nature of fire behavior (ignition, growth, suppression, and spread) is fundamentally difficult to quantify due to the inherent randomness present in each stage of fire development. The study of interactions between earthquake damage and fire behavior is also in its infancy with essentially no available empirical testing results. This thesis will present a literature review, a discussion, and critique of the state-of-the-art, and a summary of software currently being used to estimate loss due to EQ and FFE. A generalized PBE framework for EQ and subsequent FFE is presented along with a combined hazard probability to performance objective matrix and a table of variables necessary to fully implement the proposed framework. Future research requirements and summary are also provided with discussions of the difficulties inherent in adequately describing the multiple hazards of EQ and FFE.

Abstract:
Earthquake engineering is increasingly focusing on large international collaborations to address complex problems. Recent computing advances have greatly contributed to the way scientific collaborations are conducted, where web-based solutions are an emerging trend to manage and present results to the scientific community and the general public. However, collaborations in earthquake engineering lack a common interoperability framework, resulting in tedious and complex processes to integrate results, which cannot be efficiently used by third-party institutions. The work described in this thesis applies novel computing techniques to enable the interoperability of earthquake engineering resources, by integrating data, distributed simulation services and laboratory facilities. This integration focuses on distributed approaches rather than centralised solutions, and has been materialised in a platform called Celestina, that supports the integration of hazard mitigation resources. The prototype of Celestina has been implemented and validated within the context of two of the current largest earthquake engineering networks, the SERIES network in Europe and the NEES network in the USA. It has been divided into three sub-systems to address different problems: (i) Celestina Data, to develop best methods to define, store, integrate and share earthquake engineering experimental data. Celestina Data uses a novel approach based on Semantic Web technologies, and it has accomplished the first data integration between earthquake engineering institutions from the United States and Europe by means of a formalised infrastructure. (ii) Celestina Tools, to research applications that can be implemented on top of the data integration, in order to provide a practical benefit for the end user. (iii) Celestina Simulations, to create the most efficient methods to integrate distributed testing software and to support the planning, definition and execution of the experimental workflow from a high-level perspective. Celestina Simulations has been implemented and validated by conducting distributed simulations between the Universities of Oxford and Kassel. Such validation has demonstrated the feasibility to conduct both flexible, general-purpose and high performance simulations under the framework. Celestina has enabled global analysis of data requirements for the whole community, the definition of global policies for data authorship, curation and preservation, more efficient use of efforts and funding, more accurate decision support systems and more efficient sharing and evaluation of data results in scientific articles.

Abstract:
The overarching objective in this work is to advance damage modelling for performance-based earthquake engineering. To achieve this objective, this thesis provides a new vision, technique, and software framework for the assessment of seismic damage and loss to building components. The advent of performance-based earthquake engineering placed a renewed emphasis on the assessment of damage and monetary loss in structural engineering. Assessment of seismic damage and loss for decision making entails two ingredients. First, models that predict the detailed damage to building components; second, a probabilistic framework that simulates damage and delivers the monetary loss for the reliability, risk, and optimization analysis. This motivates the contributions in this thesis, which are summarized in the following paragraphs. First, a literature review is conducted on models, techniques and experimental studies that address component damage due to earthquakes. The existing approaches for prediction of the seismic damage, repair actions, and costs are examined. The objective in this part is to establish a knowledge bank that facilitates the subsequent development of probabilistic models for seismic damage. Second, a logistic regression technique is employed for developing multivariate models that predict the probability of sustaining discrete damage states. It is demonstrated that the logistic regression remedies several shortcomings in univariate damage models, such as univariate fragility curves. The multivariate damage models are developed for reinforced concrete shear walls using experimental data. A search algorithm for model selection is included. It is found that inter-story drift and aspect ratio of walls are amongst the most influential parameters on the damage. Third, an object-oriented software framework for detailed simulation of visual damage is developed. The work builds on the existing software Rt. Emphasis is on the software framework, which facilitates detailed simulation of component behaviour, including visual damage. Information about visual damage allows the prediction of repair actions, which in turn improves our ability to predict the time and cost of repair.

Abstract:
Ce travail détaille une approche de calcul pour la résolution de problèmes dynamiques qui combinent des discrétisations en temps et dans le domaine de Laplace reposant sur une technique de sous-structuration. En particulier, la méthode développée cherche à remplir le besoin industriel de réaliser des calculs dynamiques tridimensionnels pour le risque sismique en prenant en compte des effets non-linéaires d'interaction sol-structure (ISS). Deux sous-domaines sont considérés dans ce problème. D'une part, le domaine de sol linéaire et non-borné qui est modélisé par une impédance de bord discrétisée dans le domaine de Laplace au moyen d'une méthode d'éléments de frontière ; et, de l'autre part, la superstructure qui fait référence pas seulement à la structure et sa fondation mais aussi, éventuellement, à une partie du sol présentant un comportement non-linéaire. Ce dernier sous-domaine est formulé dans le domaine temporel et discrétisé avec la méthode des éléments finis (FE). Dans ce cadre, les forces liées à l'ISS s'écrivent sous la forme d'une intégrale de convolution en temps dont le noyau est la transformée de Laplace inverse de la matrice d'impédance de sol. Pour pouvoir évaluer cette convolution dans le domaine temporel à partir d'une impédance de sol définie dans le domaine de Laplace, une approche basée sur des Quadratures de Convolution (QC) est présentée : la méthode hybride Laplace-Temps (L-T). La stabilité numérique de son couplage avec un schéma d'intégration de type Newmark est ensuite étudiée sur plusieurs modèles d'ISS en dynamique linéaire et non-linéaire. Finalement, la méthode L-T est testée sur un modèle numérique plus complexe, proche d'une application sismique de caractère industriel, et des résultats satisfaisants sont obtenus par rapport aux solutions de référence
The present work addresses a computational methodology to solve dynamic problems coupling time and Laplace domain discretizations within a domain decomposition approach. In particular, the proposed methodology aims at meeting the industrial need of performing more accurate seismic risk assessments by accounting for three-dimensional dynamic soil-structure interaction (DSSI) in nonlinear analysis. Two subdomains are considered in this problem. On the one hand, the linear and unbounded domain of soil which is modelled by an impedance operator computed in the Laplace domain using a Boundary Element (BE) method; and, on the other hand, the superstructure which refers not only to the structure and its foundations but also to a region of soil that possibly exhibits nonlinear behaviour. The latter subdomain is formulated in the time domain and discretized using a Finite Element (FE) method. In this framework, the DSSI forces are expressed as a time convolution integral whose kernel is the inverse Laplace transform of the soil impedance matrix. In order to evaluate this convolution in the time domain by means of the soil impedance matrix (available in the Laplace domain), a Convolution Quadrature-based approach called the Hybrid Laplace-Time domain Approach (HLTA), is thus introduced. Its numerical stability when coupled to Newmark time integration schemes is subsequently investigated through several numerical examples of DSSI applications in linear and nonlinear analyses. The HLTA is finally tested on a more complex numerical model, closer to that of an industrial seismic application, and good results are obtained when compared to the reference solutions

Abstract:

Wood-stud shear walls are commonly used to provide lateral stability against horizontal forces in wood houses. Therefore, accurate predictions of the deformation properties of shear walls are necessary in order to improve the design of wood frame houses against earthquake loading. The aim of this thesis is to increase damping capacity of wood-stud shear walls and hence improve wood frame houses resistance against earthquake.

The starting point has been the laboratory experiments of nail joint’s deformation properties. Purpose of the experiments was to determine material properties of a nail joint. The material properties have later been used as material input data in the finite element (FE) model of wood-stud shear wall elements under alternating lateral loading.  FE results have shown that wood-stud shear wall element’s damping capacity is mainly dependent on nail joints properties, number of nail joints, wall dimension and the use of middle studs.


Skjuvväggar av trä används ofta för att ge stabilitet åt horisontalbelastade träshustommar. Därför är kunskaper om skjuvväggars deformationsegenskaper nödvändiga för att kunna förbättra utformningen av trästommar utsatta för jordbävningslaster. Syftet med detta examenarbete är att visa på olika sätt som ökar skjuvväggars absorberande energi eller dämpningskapacitet och som därigenom ger möjligheter att förbättra trästommars motstånd mot jordbävningslaster.

 

Utgångspunkten har varit laboratorieexperimenten avseende spikförbandens deformationsegenskaper. Syftet med experimenten var att bestämma materialegenskaper för två olika spikförband. Materialsambanden användes därefter som indata i finita element (FE) modeller av skjuvväggselement utsatta för växlande sidobelastning. FE resultaten har visat att skjuvväggars totala dämpningskapacitet beror i huvudsak på spikförbandets materialegenskaper, antal spikförband, väggdimensionen och användningen av mellanreglar.

Abstract:
AbstractPost-Earthquake damage assessment has always been one of the major challenges that both engineers and authorities face after disastrous earthquakes all around the world. Considering the number of buildings in need of inspection and the insufficient number of qualified inspectors, the availability of a thorough, quantitative and rapidly applicable damage assessment methodology is vitally important after such events. At the beginning of the new millennia, an assessment system satisfying these needs was developed for the Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP, known as DASK in Turkey) to evaluate the damages in reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. Since its enforcement, this assessment method has been successfully used after several earthquakes that took place in Turkey, such as 2011 Van Earthquake, 2011 Kutahya Earthquake, 2019 Istanbul Earthquake and 2020 Elazig Earthquake to decide the future of damaged structures to be either ‘repaired’ or ‘demolished’. Throughout the years, the number of research activities focusing on the reparability of earthquake-damaged structures has increased, which is a purposeful parameter in the determination of buildings’ future after earthquakes. Accordingly, TCIP initiated a research project with a sole aim to regulate and reevaluate the damage assessment algorithm based on the results of state-of-the-art scientific research. This chapter presents the new version of the damage assessment methodology for reinforced concrete structures which was developed for TCIP (TCIP-DAM-2020). In addition, an application of the developed damage assessment algorithm on an earthquake-damaged reinforced concrete building which was struck by Kocaeli (1999) earthquake is presented.

Abstract:
AbstractThe assessment of earthquake and risk to a portfolio, in urban or regional scale, constitutes an important element in the mitigation of economic and social losses due to earthquakes, planning of immediate post-earthquake actions as well as for the development of earthquake insurance schemes. Earthquake loss and risk assessment methodologies consider and combine three main elements: earthquake hazard, fragility/vulnerability of assets and the inventory of assets exposed to hazard. Challenges exist in the characterization of the earthquake hazard as well as in the determination of the fragilities/vulnerabilities of the physical and social elements exposed to the hazard. The simulation of the spatially correlated fields of ground motion using empirical models of correlation between intensity measures is an important tool for hazard characterization. The uncertainties involved in these elements and especially the correlation in these uncertainties, are important to obtain the bounds of the expected risks and losses. This paper looks at the current practices in regional and urban earthquake risk assessment, discusses current issues and provides illustrative applications from Istanbul and Turkey.

Abstract:
Factography shows that strong earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 5.0-5.5, occurring within our country, cause greater damage to the built environment than would be expected for earthquakes of this magnitude. The seismic intensity of an earthquake represents the result of its impact on the terrain, the built, and the social environment. Synthesizing the vulnerability of each of these environments enables us to understand the vulnerability of the spaces comprising these three environments. In our country, earthquake prevention relies on constructing earthquake resistant buildings and infrastructure within the built environment, but it's evident that this approach needs refinement. Dealing with the aftermath of earthquakes requires funding, making earthquake action both a social and economic problem. Environmental engineering, with its integrated seismic resistance elements, plays a role in environmental protection and should adhere to the appropriate legislative framework. Our country's environmental planning should consider both the long-term and short-term seismic conditions specific to our region. Assessing priorities should involve consideration of our social environment.

In 2nd Croatian Conference on Earthquake Engineering. University of Zagreb Faculty of Civil Engineering, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5592/co/2crocee.2023.88.

Full text
Abstract:
The traces of liquefaction were recognized in the area of Zagreb in the Sava valley in previous earthquakes and liquefaction can be expected in future earthquakes as well similar to the many cases which occurred in the Petrinja earthquake. Therefore, it is useful to have a tool allowing quick identification of susceptibility to liquefaction in larger areas. CPTU testing covers many aspects of soil behaviour and enables the estimation of parameters needed in liquefaction susceptibility analysis. During the 2010-2011 series of earthquakes in Christchurch and Canterbury, New Zealand, a very rich dataset was collected that links soil data obtained by the CPTU, earthquake data, and on-site liquefaction manifestations – or lack of it. An artificial neural network was developed from these data. In addition to the description of location and time, the data contains CPTU measurements, earthquake magnitude, medial peak ground acceleration, its standard deviation, groundwater depth and classification of the manifestation of liquefaction on the ground surface. The data collected after the Petrinja earthquake – obtained from CPTU tests and from analysis of the manifestations of liquefaction and the available data on the earthquake – are used in the developed artificial neural network.

Abstract:
Abstract A tsunami earthquake is defined as an earthquake which induces abnormally strong tsunami waves compared with its seismic magnitude (Kanamori 1972; Kanamori and Anderson 1975; Tanioka and Seno 2001). We investigate the possibility that the surface waves (Rayleigh, Love, and tsunami waves) in tsunami earthquakes are amplified by secondly submarine landslides, induced by the liquefaction of the sea floor due to the strong vibrations of the earthquakes. As pointed by Kanamori (2004), tsunami earthquakes are significantly stronger in longer waves than 100 s and low in radiation efficiencies of seismic waves by one or two order of magnitudes. These natures are in favor of a significant contribution of landslides. The landslides can generate seismic waves with longer period with lower efficiency than the tectonic fault motions (Kanamori et al 1980; Eissler and Kanamori 1987; Hasegawa and Kanamori 1987). We further investigate the distribution of the tsunami earthquakes and found that most of their epicenters are located at the steep slopes in the landward side of the trenches or around volcanic islands, where the soft sediments layers from the landmass are nearly critical against slope failures. This distribution suggests that the secondly landslides may contribute to the tsunami earthquakes. In the present paper, we will investigate the rapture processes determined by the inversion analysis of seismic surface waves of tsunami earthquakes can be explained by massive landslides, simultaneously triggered by earthquakes in the tsunami earthquakes which took place near the trenches.

Abstract:
There is a significant building stock of the existing low- and mid-rise unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings constructed after World War II in Serbia and neighbouring countries. Numerous buildings of this typology collapsed in the devastating 1963 Skopje, North Macedonia earthquake, causing fatalities, injuries, and property losses, and experienced damage in a few recent earthquakes in the region, including the 2010 Kraljevo, Serbia earthquake and the 2020 Petrinja, Croatia earthquake. These buildings are 3- to 5-storey high, have URM walls and rigid reinforced concrete (RC) or semi-prefabricated concrete and masonry floor slabs, usually with a RC ring beam at each floor level. The paper will provide an overview of seismic retrofitting approaches for these buildings, starting from provisions of design codes which were previously followed in Serbia and former Yugoslavia as well as Eurocode 8 (Part 3). Conventional seismic retrofitting technologies based on RC wall overlays which were applied in past earthquakes, including the 2010 Kraljevo earthquake, will be presented and their advantages and disadvantages will be discussed. Finally, a case study of a building in Kraljevo which was damaged in the 2010 earthquake and subsequently retrofitted, will be presented, including the results of seismic analysis and design solution. The paper should be of interest to engineers and academics interested in seismic retrofitting of masonry buildings.

Abstract:
Different types of disasters, including earthquakes, are causing social, health, economic, and environmental damage worldwide. In this regard, the need for comprehensive and effective disaster and risk management becomes even more recognised, especially from public institutions. Risk management includes careful identification, analysis, and development of risk mitigation strategies, which implies planning and a certain degree of prediction of future events and their consequences. However, all risk components of earthquakes are not measurable or have a very high degree of uncertainty. Therefore, earthquake risk management activities are challenging throughout entire earthquake risk management activities. In this paper, the Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for effective earthquake risk assessment is presented. AHP belongs to the group of multi-criteria analysis that combines quantitative and qualitative data with the aim of making decisions in defining the priorities of alternative solutions to a given problem. It is particularly suitable in cases where there is a lack of statistical data to conduct the analysis. The use of AHP is explored in the context of producing earthquake risk priority lists for a certain geographical region. A hierarchical model for risk assessment of five different counties was developed. The three main criteria that have influence on the earthquake risk are used: hazard, exposure, and vulnerability of the built environment. AHP was used to determine the priority list of counties according to these three criteria. The resulting priority list of counties can be used to produce earthquake risk maps, thus provide a useful tool for allocation of available mitigation resources.

Salvatori, Antonello. "BEHAVIOUR OF SEISMIC ISOLATED BUILDING DURING CENTRAL ITALY 2016 – 2017 EARTHQUAKES." In 2nd Croatian Conference on Earthquake Engineering. University of Zagreb Faculty of Civil Engineering, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5592/co/2crocee.2023.129.

Abstract:
The seismic sequence during years 2016 and 2017 involved a great area In Central Italy, involving four regions and more than 100.000 buildings. Many main shock events occurred, namely Amatrice earthquake (Mw 6.0 on August 24th, 2016), Valnerina earthquakes (Mw 5.9 and 5.4 on October 26th, 2016), Norcia earthquake (Mw 6.5 on October 30th 2016), and Montereale – Capitignano earthquakes (Mw 5.0, 5.5 on January 18th 2017) About 80.000 buildings were damaged in the seismic events. In particular, some areas were involved also in the 2009 seismic events (L’Aquila earthquake). After L’Aquila earthquake, during reconstruction period, many buildings with base isolation (both existing and new ones) have been realized in the city area. Furthermore, collapsed buildings, or heavily damaged buildings, were demolished and reconstructed with base isolation (both in foundation and above first elevation columns). The isolation systems were generally composed by both rubber high damping isolators, and plane friction isolators (sliding). Some buildings, which reported less structural damage during 2009 L’Aquila earthquake, were retrofitted with isolation systems, both with rubber high damping isolators, and plane friction isolators. All these isolated buildings were completed before year 2016, that is before the new strong seismic events in Central Italy. Several different dynamic and seismic behaviour were observed in those buildings, depending upon isolation system (noticeable differences have been observed between curved sliding isolators and rubber high damping isolators) and upon soil – structure interaction. Significant displacement has been observed caused by soft soil, and inverse velocity seismic soil profile. Also, frequency response influenced isolated building behaviour. In the work several buildings are examined, analysing the seismic behaviour both in the 2009 earthquake (with no isolation system) and during 2016 – 2017 seismic events (with isolation system).

Despite their remoteness from each other, Japan and Mexico share a critical characteristic: the seismic hazard. In the past, both nations have been hit by great earthquakes that have caused serious human and material losses. Although the prediction of earthquakes is not yet possible, the development of early warning systems and their constant innovation is a priority, especially the studies of the horizontal-to-vertical spectral relationship of microseisms, which can help the study and understanding of earthquakes’ nature, as well as their impact on infrastructure. It is for mutual benefit to Japan and Mexico that cooperation between university institutions specialized in seismological studies increases to jointly create study and innovation mechanisms.
