This preliminary study aims to investigate a M w 6.3 earthquake that occurred in South
Iceland on Thursday 29 May 2008 at 15: 45 UTC. The epicentre was in the Olfus District …

In June 2000 two shallow, strike slip, Mw6. 5 earthquakes occurred in the middle of the
largest agricultural region in Iceland. The epicentres were close to small towns and villages …

The objective of this paper is to present ground-motion prediction equations describing
constant-ductility inelastic spectral ordinates and structural behaviour factors. These …

This study analyses the performance of residential buildings in the town of Hveragerði in
South Iceland during the 29 May 2008 Mw 6.3 Ölfus Earthquake. The earthquake occurred …

Although earthquakes are thought to be one of the factors responsible for the occurrence of
landslides in Hokkaido, there exist no enough records which can allow correlating many of …

The most recent and costliest damaging earthquake in Iceland is the M w 6.3 29-May-2008
Ölfus earthquake to date. In particular, Hveragerði town located in the extreme near-fault …

In this paper, we apply a probabilistic procedure to model the attenuation of the
macroseismic intensity in the Mt. Etna region, which allows estimating probabilistic seismic …

The purpose of this study is to describe strong-motion monitoring and accelerometric
recordings in Iceland and to highlight some basic characteristics of the tectonic regime that …

Worldwide, induced earthquakes associated with geothermal projects have raised public
concern on several occasions even though the seismicity has rarely had adverse physical …

Abstract This paper describes Professor Ambraseys's work on the quantification of
magnitudes of the main events in the 1896 South Iceland earthquake sequence, using …
