Abstract:

This study explores the impact post-earthquake images from Christchurch, New Zealand inserted into a task requiring sustained attention or vigilance have on performance, selfreports of task-focus, and cerebra activity using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The images represent the current state of Christchurch; a city struggling to recover from devastating earthquakes that peaked in February, 2011, killing 185 people, injuring hundreds more and causing widespread and massive damage to infrastructure, land and building in the region. Crowdsourcing was used to gather a series of po

Abstract:

Major earthquakes are rare events in most countries but there have been cases in urban regions of fire following earthquakes. Its potential for growth and spread was again evident in the recent Northridge and Kobe earthquakes. This report identifies ways in which fire protection and fire engineering can work through public sector and private sector actions to reduce post-earthquake fire losses in urban building stock. It suggests a set of practical measures for building fire loss reduction that could be taken by territorial authorities, Fire Service, building owners and tenants, property and

Abstract:

This thesis examines the ground motion prediction component of earthquake loss estimation (ELE) frameworks and is based on the assertion that reducing the uncertainty in ground motion prediction will result in improved accuracy of loss estimates. The objective is to obtain improved ground motion predictions by identifying and quantifying the sources of uncertainty in the predictions, with particular focus on the portion of the uncertainty that can be reduced. The work presented in this thesis starts with an examination of ground motion measures commonly used in ELE and their relative utility.

A cladding panel acts as a protective or an insulating layer to control weather infiltration. The Northridge Earthquake, which took place on January 17, 1994, caused numerous heavy cladding panels to fall off the walls of residential and commercial buildings. The failure of these panels was a result of an insufficien

Abstract:

This paper quantifies and analyzes the economic impact of the Great Tohoku Earthquake and tsunami on the Japanese electricity industry using alternative event study methodology. The data set includes daily stock prices of 11 publicly traded electricity companies. This paper investigates the changes in systematic risk, abnormal returns (ARs), and cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) before and after the natural disaster. In addition, I compare the movement of the stock price in the electricity industry with other indices in Japan to investigate the aggregate level impact on the Japanese economy.

Abstract:

This thesis work deals with the passive control of the dynamic response of steel buildings against earthquakes. To provide easy repairability after an earthquake and mitigate internal actions different activities are pursued: i) hybrid simulations (HSs) of full-scale steel and steel-concrete composite frames endowed with dissipative replaceable components, and ii) development of an innovative system for seismic vibration mitigation based on impact mechanism. The aforementioned research issue is approached at two levels. The former level is based on the contribution to the European funded RFCS

Abstract:

This study sought to investigate employee burnout within a post-disaster context by exploring teachers’ burnout perceptions and workplace attitudes in the aftermath of the 2010-2011 Christchurch earthquakes. The study hypothesised that burnout dimensions (emotional exhaustion and cynicism) would be related with the extent to which individuals and schools were impacted by the earthquakes, and with the quality of school support for staff and students (i.e., personal disaster impact, school disaster impact and school responsiveness to the disaster), with perceptions of role conflict and role over

Abstract:

Adverse post-natural disaster outcomes in low-income regions, like elevated internal migration levels and low consumption levels, are the result of market failures, poor mechanisms for stabilizing income, and missing insurance markets, which force the affected population to respond, and adapt to the shock they face. In a spatial environment, with multiple locations with independent but interconnected markets, these transitions quickly become complex and highly non-linear due to the feedback loops between the micro individual-level decisions and the meso location-wise market decisions.

The recent advent of base isolation systems and their use as an efficient earthquake force resisting mechanism has led to their increased use in civil engineering structures.

LIGO possède deux détecteurs d'architecture et de fonctionnement identiques, situés aux États-Unis. Chaque détecteur est une version améliorée d'un interféromètre de Michelson avec des bras optiques de 4 km de long. Ces interféromètres ont observé une onde gravitationnelle pour la première fois en septembre 2015, suivi par cinq autres détections à ce jour. Ces détections marquent le début d™une nouvelle ère pour l'astrophysique, en liaison étroite avec la physique des trous noirs et des éto

THE CONCLUSION SHOWED THAT THE EARTHQUAKE INFLUENCED THE HOUSING PRICE TO DECREASE BY 15.84% AN AVERAGE IN THE RESEARCH AREA. HOUSING PRICE OF THE APARTMENT LIVING COMMUNITY WAS DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, BUT FOR INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCES IT IS DOWN SLIGHTLY. ONE YEAR AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE, THE HOUSING PRICE IN THE RESEARCH AREA IS STILL POSSIBLE TO DECREASE. IN THE INTERVENATION MODEL, THE APARTMENT LIVING COMM

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact caused by the Tohoku 2011 earthquake, within the energy sector across the World. In order to measure results, a couple of methodologies that resorted to abnormal returns were undertaken and multiple significance tests were made to verify statistical relevancy on the findings. It has been possible to observe a positive reaction on the “Nuclear Energy” companies, as well as a negative impact on the “Renewable Energy” group, with the most prominent results coming from the second methodology. However, due to the lack of statistical significance acro

Such economic impacts can be evaluated by the input-output analysis which Leontief developed. Most studies evaluate the economic impact due to lifeline and transport interrupt. However we evaluate the impacts on firms’ revenue due to impaired buildings. Two scenario earthquakes with a return period of 475 years, Hsinchu Hsincheng earthquake (magnitude 7.5 ML and 10 km i

According to regression relationship (G-R relation) between the earthquake magnitude and frequency proposed by Gutenberg and Richter (1944), the expected number of tsunamigenic earthquake is estimated. Using the linear shallow water equations of COMCOT (COrnell Multigrid COupled Tsunami model), the propagation of tsunami in the ocean is simulated, and the reciprocal Green''s function was applied to save the comput

The data period is from January 1st, 2001 to the end of 2005. GPS data are processed with the Bernse software V.4.2. To obtain the velocity field of continuous GPS stations, the position time series are corrected for the coseismic offsets and the seasonal periodic motions. We als

This event provided an opportunity to examine the efficient market hypothesis. Therefore, this paper will study its impact on the stock prices of Taiwan insurance companies and focus on whether the efficient market hypothesis can be supported or not. If the stock prices (and market value) adequately reflected the payout policy proceeds, the efficien
