Zhao, Lei (author), Zhou, Sifan (author), Zhong, Jinglin (author), Ao, Yibin (author), Wang, Yan (author), Wang, T. (author), Chen, Yunfeng (author)Earthquakes occur frequently in rural areas of Sichuan, China, causing huge damage and high mortality. The built environment plays a significant role in providing residents with safe and resilient settlements in such areas. There is yet little research on how rural families in developing countries cope with geological disasters like earthquakes,...journal article 2022

Ao, Yibin (author), Tan, Liyao (author), Zhong, Jinglin (author), Zhang, Hongying (author), Wang, Yan (author), Wang, T. (author)Earthquake is one of the most serious natural disasters. Taking scientific and reasonable earthquake preparedness measures can effectively reduce casualties and economic losses caused by earthquakes. It is important to understand how residents choose such earthquake preparedness measures to guide them accordingly. However, the current research...journal article 2022

Gonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author), van den Eijnden, A.P. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)1D soil column techniques are widely used to evaluate the potential of liquefaction in a system of soil layers. This approach generally leads to large inaccuracies since (1) soil layers are hardly homogeneous and perfectly horizontal and (2) horizontal effects are neglected. To demonstrate the limitation of 1D strategies and the need for 2D...conference paper 2022

De Iuliis, Melissa (author), Kammouh, O. (author), Cimellaro, Gian Paolo (author)Due to the increasing frequency of natural and man-made disasters, the scientific community has paid considerable attention to the concept of resilience engineering. On the other hand, authorities and decision-makers have been focusing their efforts on developing strategies that can help increase community resilience to different types of...journal article 2022

Ao, Yibin (author), Zhong, Jinglin (author), Zhang, Zijun (author), Han, Lili (author), Wang, Yan (author), Chen, Yunfeng (author), Wang, T. (author)Residents’ satisfaction with post-disaster reconstruction in earthquake-stricken areas directly affects their quality of life, which cannot be ignored in post-disaster reconstruction. More than 10 years after the Wenchuan earthquake, we took ten randomly selected villages in the five areas hardest-hit by the Wenchuan earthquake as research...journal article 2022

Lashgari, Ali (author), Jafarian, Yaser (author)This paper presents a new empirical model to predict the mean period (T<sub>m</sub>) as a frequency-content parameter of earthquake record using the strong ground motions recorded in Iran during 1975–2019. An updated earthquake databank containing 2281 horizontal acceleration records was employed to develop the empirical model through a...journal article 2022

(author), Efendi, Joni (author), Elbanna, Ahmed E. (author), Dubernet, Pierpaolo (author), Abidin, Hasanuddin Z. (author)Hazardous tsunamis are known to be generated predominantly at subduction zones. However, the 2018 Mw 7.5 Palu (Indonesia) earthquake on a strike-slip fault generated a tsunami that devastated the city of Palu. The mechanism by which this tsunami originated from such an earthquake is being debated. Here we present near-field ground motion (GPS...journal article 2022

(author)On 14th August 2021, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck the Tiburon Peninsula in the Caribbean nation of Haiti, approximately 150 km west of the capital Port-au-Prince. Aftershocks up to moment magnitude 5.7 followed and over 1,000 landslides were triggered. These events led to over 2,000 fatalities, 15,000 injuries and more than 137,000...journal article 2022

(author), Riva, R.E.M. (author)A devastating tsunami struck Palu Bay in the wake of the 28 September 2018 M<sub>w</sub> = 7.5 Palu earthquake (Sulawesi, Indonesia). With a predominantly strike-slip mechanism, the question remains whether this unexpected tsunami was generated by the earthquake itself, or rather by earthquake-induced landslides. In this study we examine the...journal article 2022

Speelman, Bas (author)The submerged floating tunnel (SFT) is a conceptual idea that originates from the 19th century. The idea consists of a tunnel tube floating underwater where it is kept at a fixed depth by its buoyancy and by tethers that are anchored to the seabed and or by floating pontoons at the water surface. The tunnel is placed deep enough to avoid extreme...master thesis 2021

Verwijs, Roos (author)As a result of the gas extraction in Groningen (the Netherlands) the amount of earthquakes have increased over the past decades. Understanding the induced seismicity in the Zeerijp area is important for the population living in this relatively densely populated region, but also essential to the Dutch governement and the operator of the field;...master thesis 2021

Kisa, Mehmet (author)Gas extractions are responsible for mostly all induced earthquakes in the Groningen area and this leads to damage of houses and buildings and issues regarding safety. Current strengthening measurements are mostly very visible. However, this can change by using the window frame as part of the structure, particularly interesting for Dutch houses...master thesis 2021

van Engelen, Niels (author)Due to a high demand for offshore wind energy the industry is expanding to evermore challenging locations such as seismic prone areas. The corresponding seismic shocks and vibrations can be transmitted to jack‐up vessels and their cranes used for the installation of these offshore wind turbines. Since a potential collapse due to seismic activity...master thesis 2021

Drougkas, A. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Messali, F. (author), Sarhosis, Vasilis (author)Masonry panels consisting of piers and spandrels in buildings are vulnerable to in-plane actions caused by seismicity and soil subsidence. Tectonic seismicity is a safety hazard for masonry structures, whereas low-magnitude induced seismicity can be detrimental to their durability due to the accumulation of light damage. This is particularly...journal article 2021

Morandini, Ludovic (author)Measuring temperature variations of the deep ocean is necessary to evaluate the heat flux between the atmosphere and the hydrosphere and thus calibrate climate change models. In the last two decades a passive alternative to profiling oceanographic floats has emerged: hydroacoustic thermometry. This method consists of using the oceanic ambient...master thesis 2020
