2. Earthquake engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_engineering

   Seismic performance assessment or seismic structural analysis is a powerful tool of earthquake engineering which utilizes detailed modelling of the structure together with methods of structural analysis to gain a better understanding of seismic performance of building and non-building structures. The technique as a formal concept is a ...

3. Seismic risk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_risk

   Seismic risk. Seismic risk or earthquake risk is the potential impact on the built environment and on people's well-being due to future earthquakes. [ 1] Seismic risk has been defined, for most management purposes, as the potential economic, social and environmental consequences of hazardous events that may occur in a specified period of time ...

4. Seismology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismology

   Seismology ( / saɪzˈmɒlədʒi, saɪs -/; from Ancient Greek σεισμός ( seismós) meaning "earthquake" and -λογία ( -logía) meaning "study of") is the scientific study of earthquakes (or generally, quakes) and the generation and propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or other planetary bodies. It also includes studies of ...

5. Earthquake forecasting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_forecasting

   Earthquake forecasting is a branch of the science of seismology concerned with the probabilistic assessment of general earthquake seismic hazard, including the frequency and magnitude of damaging earthquakes in a given area over years or decades. [1] While forecasting is usually considered to be a type of prediction, earthquake forecasting is ...

6. Lists of earthquakes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes

   A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.

7. Seismic hazard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_hazard

   A seismic hazard is the probability that an earthquake will occur in a given geographic area, within a given window of time, and with ground motion intensity exceeding a given threshold. [1] [2] With a hazard thus estimated, risk can be assessed and included in such areas as building codes for standard buildings, designing larger buildings and ...
