18, old style], 1862, St . Petersburg Russia died May 17 [May 4, O.S.], 1916, near Petrograd) Russian physicist known for his work on methods of earthquake observations and on the construction of seismographs.
Compaction or densification of loose saturated soils has been the most popular method of reducing earthquake related liquefaction potential.
The average values of using time history method of nine earthquake ground motion records are 0.00115, 0.00122, 0.00122 and 0.0013, respectively.
The maximum response ratios of SSI-1, SSI-2 and SSI-3 using response spectra method are 1.88, 2.22 and 3.0, respectively, and the average values of using time history method of nine earthquake ground motion records are 1.42, 1.59 and 1.92, respectively.
This research was conducted in naturalistic paradigm with qualitative methods, provides a method of post-earthquake rebuilding homes that can be done alone by the occupants by reusing building materials rubble without guidance practitioner (architect).
For deterministic methods, assessment of earthquake-induced landslide susceptibility on a regional scale commonly required the employment of an analytical slope-stability method and the infinite-slope model [Jibson and Keefer, 1993; Jibson et al., 2000; Refice and Capolongo, 2002].
Each case has been analyzed by both the methods of equivalent earthquake loading and dynamic analysis, and the results compared.
Further, an application of these methods to earthquake catalog from Gisborne area near Hikurangi subduction zone (New Zealand) is presented.
Although sophisticated numerical methods for earthquake analysis of large concrete dams are available, realistic earthquake behavior and damage mechanisms of large dams are yet to be elucidated.
A method for the development of earthquake intensity damage relations, given as fragility curves and damage probability matrices is proposed in this paper.
