Post-earthquake fire risk and loss assessment in urban areas
Post-earthquake fire (PEF) poses a significant threat to urban structures and may contribute to the collapse of seismically damaged buildings as well...
-
Earthquake scenarios for building portfolios using artificial neural networks: part II—damage and loss assessment
Seismic risk assessment of building portfolios has been traditionally performed using empirical ground motion models, and scalar fragility and...

Implications of building code enforcement and urban expansion on future earthquake loss in East Africa: case study—Blantyre, Malawi
Rapid and uncontrolled urbanisation in many parts of Africa is a significant driver of earthquake risk. New constructions are usually built with no...
-
Epistemic uncertainty of probabilistic building exposure compositions in scenario-based earthquake loss models
In seismic risk assessment, the sources of uncertainty associated with building exposure modelling have not received as much attention as other...

Finite difference modelling of SH wave propagation: A case study of Gorkha earthquake, 25th April, 2015 (Mw 7.8)
Site and topography effects are integral part of strong ground motion recorded during an earthquake. Site effects due to shallow subsurface velocity...
-
Rapid earthquake loss updating of spatially distributed systems via sampling-based bayesian inference
Within moments following an earthquake event, observations collected from the affected area can be used to define a picture of expected losses and to...
