The problem of evaluation of the maximum possible regional earthquake magnitude (M
max) is reviewed and analyzed. Two aspects of this topic are specified: statistical, and …

More and more researchers are focusing on the service condition of operational tunnel
structures. In sulfate strata, tunnel lining structures are frequently affected by sulfate erosion …

While power law distributions in seismic moment and interevent times are ubiquitous in
regional earthquake catalogs, the statistics of individual faults remains controversial …

Mature strike‐slip faults are usually surrounded by a narrow zone of damaged rocks
characterized by low seismic wave velocities. Observations of earthquakes along such faults …

We present a suite of strain rate models for the western United States based on geologic
and geodetic data. The geologic data consist of Quaternary fault‐slip rates and the geodetic …

The multi-hazard effects on multi-story steel buildings equipped with energy dissipative
passive vibration response control devices are investigated for their performance under …

High-hazard seismic zones can remain silent over centuries with meager seismicity rates
challenging our understanding of seismic processes. We focus on the comprehensive …

The seismic gap hypothesis states that fault regions where no large earthquake has recently
occurred, are more prone than others to host the next large earthquake. It can lead to the …

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis requires a seismicity rate model, or in other words, a
forecast of earthquake rates. In the New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model 2022, the …

Taking full advantage of good‐quality historical earthquake and seismogenic source data
available for Italy (Catalogo Parametrico dei Terremoti Italiani [CPTI15] and Database of …
