TL;DR: In this paper, a GIS-based loss estimation model was used to evaluate the earthquake risk for Istanbul, in terms of acceleration and velocity time series for recognized reference earthquakes caused by different rupture models along extended sources.

TL;DR: Spence et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a risk mitigation for earthquakes and landslides in urban areas based on loss modelling and mitigation for urban areas, and the EC Project -sixth Framework Programme Priority 1.1.6.3 - Global Change and Ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology for seismic microzonation and earthquake damage scenarios may be considered as composed of two stages, in which the effects of local geological and geotechnical site conditions are taken into account based on site characterization with respect to representative soil profiles extending down to the engineering bedrock.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive calculation of site specific earthquake characteristics on the ground surface for microzonation requires input acceleration time histories compatible with the regional earthquake hazard representing source factors, where real and simulated acceleration records were used as input for site response analyses to evaluate the reliability and to observe the induced variability.

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-empirical approach was proposed to determine the site specific design earthquake characteristics on the ground surface, based on one dimensional site response analyses using Shake91 and DeepSoil site response codes.
