Topographic conditions play an important role on the modification of seismic ground motion.
Therefore, their effects may become crucial in the selection or simulation of ground motion …

The significance of near-surface attenuation in bedrock, as distinct from attenuation in
unconsolidated soft soil sediments, has been identified. The k parameter, which …

This paper gives a brief explanation of the earthquake in Bam, casualties, as well as a report
on rescue and relief operations, emergency shelters, temporary housing, and the country's …

Seismic response of the asphaltic concrete used as an impermeable core of a rockfill dam
was investigated. In the first part of the study, geotechnical parameters of the asphaltic …

One of the major causes of train accidents is derailment due to axial or lateral buckling of the
track. This problem is more prominent in continuously welded rails (CWR), which are now …

In this study three earthquake-induced rock fall hazard maps of the regions affected by
