Abstract:The strong earthquake (M 6.0-6.2) that hit the central Apennines on August 24, 2016, occurred in one of the most seismically active areas in Italy. Field surveys indicated severe damage in the epicentral area where, in addition to the loss of human life, widespread destruction of cultural heritage and of critical buildings occurred. Using the neo-deterministic seismic hazard assessment (NDSHA), we apply the maximum deterministic seismic input (MDSI) procedure at two of the most relevant sites in the epicentral area, comparing the results with the current Italian building code. After performing an expeditious engineering analysis, we interpret as a possible cause of the reported damages the high seismic vulnerability of the built environment, combined with the source and site effects characterising the seismic input. Therefore, it is important to design and retrofit with appropriate spectral acceleration levels compatible with the possible future scenarios, like the ones provided by MDSI.

“…Its advocates [4][5][6][7] collect arguments topped by the fact that every earthquake is associated with a fault, tectonic structure, the geometry of which together with the acting stress eld determine the plane of the slip and the slip direction, in other words the mechanism of the earthquake. The mechanism is the crucial factor ruling the seismic energy radiation as for its spatial distribution.…”

Seismic stability of the survey areas of potential sites for the deep geological repository of the spent nuclear fuel

This paper deals with the seismic stability of the survey areas of potential sites for the deep geological repository of the spent nuclear fuel in the Czech Republic. The basic source of data for historical earthquakes up to 1990 was the seismic website [10]. The most intense earthquake described occurred on September 15, 1590 in the Niederroesterreich region (Austria) in the historical period; its reported intensity is Io = 8-9. The source of the contemporary seismic data for the period since 1991 to the end of 2014 was the website [11]. It may be stated based on the databases and literature review that in the period from 1900, no earthquake exceeding magnitude 5.1 originated in the territory of the Czech Republic. In order to evaluate seismicity and to assess the impact of seismic e ects at depths of hypothetical deep geological repository for the next time period, the neo-deterministic method was selected as an extension of the probabilistic method. Each one out of the seven survey areas were assessed by the neo-deterministic evaluation of the seismic wave-eld excited by selected individual events and determining the maximum loading. Results of seismological databases studies and neodeterministic analysis of Čihadlo locality are presented.

“…Specifically, they propose to replace PSHA with the so-called neo-deterministic seismic hazard assessment (NDSHA), which consists of an MCE-based hazard scenario (hereafter, MCE scenario). This approach has been described in Panza et al [2012] and references therein, and it has been proposed to the Italian government as a procedure to define the building code in Italy (http:// leg16 . camera .it/ 126 ?tab =2 &leg =16 & idDocumento =5512 &sede =&tipo =).…”

The recent destructive earthquakes in Wenchuan (China), L'Aquila (Italy), Port‐au‐Prince (Haiti), Christchurch (New Zealand), and Tohoku (Japan) have reignited the discussion over seismic safety. Several scientists [e.g., Stein et al., 2012; Wyss et al., 2012] have questioned the reliability of some seismic hazard maps based on the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA)—a widely used probabilistic approach that estimates the likelihood of various levels of ground shaking occurring at a given location in a given future time period—raising an intense discussion on this specific point [Hanks et al., 2012; Frankel, 2013; Stein et al., 2013].
