Engineering seismology is the link between earth sciences and engineering. The main input
of engineering seismology in engineering design are loading conditions which must satisfy …

This book is a state-of-the-art report on the ductility of steel structures, containing a
comprehensive review of the technical literature available, and presenting the results of the …

A large and uniform dataset is used to find equations for the prediction of absolute spectral
acceleration ordinates in Europe and adjacent areas, in terms of magnitude, source …

This paper describes the probabilistic assessment of seismic hazard (PSHA) of Italy in view
of the building codes from 2003 to 2009. A code was issued in 2003 as a Prime Minister …

This paper presents the results of a study on the engineering characteristics of vertical
ground motion. A ground-motion model for the vertical-to-horizontal ratio (V/H) of peak …

Worldwide, earthquakes and related disasters have persistently had severe negative
impacts on human livelihoods and have caused widespread socioeconomic and …

Correctly accounting for the uncertainty in ground‐motion prediction is a critical component
of probabilistic seismic‐hazard analysis (PSHA). This prediction is commonly achieved …

In view of the compendium of field evidence and supporting analysis work indicating the
possible damaging effects of vertical earthquake ground motion, this paper addresses the …

Equations for the prediction of vertical peak and absolute acceleration spectral ordinates in
terms of magnitude, source‐distance and site geology are presented. Comparison to …

Recent research clearly shows the importance of including the vertical component of
earthquake ground motion in seismic analysis and design. In addition, pioneering studies …
