The application of predictive modeling techniques to landslides induced by earthquakes: the case study of the 26 September 1997 Umbria-Marche earthquake (Italy)

TL;DR: In this article, an empirical predictive rule for determining the probability of detachment of blocks was proposed for rock falls, based on a simplified model that calculates landslide displacements during cyclic seismic loading.

Building damage scenarios based on exploitation of Housner intensity derived from finite faults ground motion simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic approach that involves complex source models, site effects, building vulnerability assessment and damage estimation through Damage Probability Matrices has been proposed to estimate the damage levels of the residential buildings located in the urban area of Potenza.

Spatial variability of the time-correlated behaviour in Italian seismicity

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the time-clustering behavior of the instrumental seismicity of Italy was performed using the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology seismic catalogue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of amplification effects in fault zone related to rock mass jointing

TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of the seismic response in a carbonate ridge of the Nera River valley (Central Apennines -Italy) is discussed. But the results of the analysis were carried out in the time domain, through directional energy evaluation, and in the frequency domain through H/V spectral ratios and spectral ratios with respect to a reference station.

Seismic microzoning map: approaches, results and applications after the 2016–2017 Central Italy seismic sequence

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results and critical issues of the above-mentioned steps of the seismic microzonation of level 3 (SM3) procedure, together with some remarks on the use of SM3 output in supporting seismic design for reconstruction.

Spectrum Intensities of Strong-Motion Earthquakes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a set of rules and procedures for the design of buildings to resist earthquakes based on a knowledge of the characteristics and intensities of earthquakes and how structures behave during an earthquake.

Seismotectonic zoning in east-central Italy deduced from an analysis of the Neogene to present deformations and related stress fields

TL;DR: In this article, the space-time evolution of the late Miocene to present contractional and extensional deformations within east-central Italy, with an analysis of the pattern and orientation of the related stress field, an insight into the cover-basement relations, and a discussion of the seismotectonic implications.

Structural styles, chronology rates of deformation, and time-space relationships in the Umbria-Marche thrust system (central Apennines, Italy)

TL;DR: In this paper, structural interpretation of geological and geophysical data available for the central Apennines (Italy) allowed the authors to draw, balance, and restore three geological profiles across the external zones of the Umbria-Marche thrust system and evaluate the timing and rates of deformation in a roughly 4 Ma time window.
