Unreinforced masonry is one of the main construction materials used in the edification of
most historical buildings around the world. This is due to its availability in nature, low-cost …

The low frequency of large destructive earthquakes in the Eastern Betics (SE Iberian
Peninsula), not recorded in the instrumental seismic catalog, complicate the estimation of …

The City of David constitutes one of the most important commercial centers of the Republic
of Panama. However, it is located on a coastal plane, close to an area with high seismic …

Determination of site fundamental periods is remarkably important to classify soil deposits
and to identify the resonant probability of any structures during an earthquake. Recent …

Pumiceous deposits, commonly found in volcanic regions such as the Ring of Fire and the
Alpide Belt, pose significant engineering challenges due to the presence of highly crushable …

We performed a seismic vulnerability assessment that involves geotechnical and building
structure analysis for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, a city located along the pacific coast. Puerto …

This work focused on the resonance vulnerability assessment for different structural systems
based in soil characterization and structural fundamental periods. The study is conducted in …

The present study addresses verification of average seismic shear-wave velocity from the
surface to a depth of 30 m (VS30) as a suitable proxy for a seismic amplification. For this …

Lisbon has been affected by several moderate to strong earthquakes that caused
considerable damage and produced significant economic and social impacts (eg, the …

Surface waves typically constitute the dominant component of the seismic record, thus
yielding the highest signal-to-noise ratio. Their propagation velocities are closely linked to …
