Field observations and interpretation of the structural performance of constructions after the 11 may 2011 lorca earthquake

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an overview of the damage that was observed over the course of a 2-day reconnaissance trip that took place 2 weeks after the 2011 Spanish earthquake, focusing on the damage observed in both historical and recent constructions.
Journal ArticleDOI

An empirical power comparison of univariate goodness-of-fit tests for normality

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive power comparison study of existing tests for normality is proposed given the importance of this subject and the widespread development of normality tests, comprehensive descriptions and power comparisons of such tests are of considerable interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Manipulating the Alpha Level Cannot Cure Significance Testing

David Trafimow, +60 more
TL;DR: It is argued that making accept/reject decisions on scientific hypotheses, including a recent call for changing the canonical alpha level from p =0.05 to p = 0.005, is deleterious for the finding of new discoveries and the progress of science.
Journal ArticleDOI

A framework for the simplified risk analysis of cultural heritage assets

TL;DR: In this article, a simplified risk assessment framework for built immovable cultural heritage assets is proposed, which can be used as a screening procedure for the preliminary assessment of a large number of assets with limited resources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flood risk assessment of cultural heritage at large spatial scales: Framework and application to mainland Portugal

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-quantitative risk assessment of cultural heritage flood risk at large spatial scales has been proposed, where the authors employ various scientifically established concepts from the field of natural hazard risk in order to support the computation of coherent and comparable flood risk indices.
