Earthquake-induced landsliding
Earthquakes deform Earth's surface, building long-lasting topographic features and contributing to landscape and mountain formation. However, seismic waves produced by earthquakes may also destabilize hillslopes, leading to large amounts of soil and bedrock moving downslope. Moreover, static …

Hyperbolic Property of Earthquake Networks
… for mitigating the devastating impacts of earthquakes. The need for such research is highlighted by increasing population density in large urban areas near major active faults (e.g., Tokyo, Istanbul, Los Angeles, San Francisco), the catastrophic earthquakes in Japan, Haiti and Indonesia …

Embankment performance under earthquake loading
… of a functioning network is heightened in a post-earthquake situation. More stress is placed on road networks to provide transportation for rescue, repair, and relief teams. Roads, approaches, and embankments represent significant elements in the transportation network. Understanding the …

Improving Earthquake Disaster Models with Post-Event Data: Insights from the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal Earthquake
… amounts of data are collected following earthquake disasters. Yet, it remains unclear how researchers’ might take full advantage of diverse post-disaster datasets. Using data from the 2015 Gorkha Nepal earthquake, this dissertation explores three ways in which post- disaster survey and …

Concrete walls founded on earthquake areas
… on soil bed (gravel) with and without damping. Earthquake load react under all walls, i.e. time history analysis. The main object of this project is to show how different foundations change the behavior of walls during seismic activity. The analysis of this behavior requires models that take …

Forecasting earthquake losses in port systems
… economic impacts that result from extended earthquake-induced disruption of a major container port. Managing risks from system-wide disruptions resulting from earthquake damage has been studied as a central element of a Grand Challenge project sponsored by the National Science Foundation …

Social resilience of post-earthquake Bam
… by the evolution of institutions in the post-earthquake reconstruction period in shaping resilience. Through studying the reconstruction process of Bam for six years (from 2004 to 2010) the research explains the dynamics of institutional interactions of different agents and organizations …

Probability of derailment under earthquake conditions
… of the probability of derailment under earthquake conditions is presented. Two derailment modes are considered: by vibratory motion - during the ground motion - and by permanent track deformation - after the motion ended. Criteria for derailment that apply to both modes are derived in …
