Multi-hazard risk assessment methodology for European coastal cities
… of this thesis is on the risk assessment of multiple climate-related hazards in European coastal cities, a crucial issue given the intensifying impacts of climate change. European coastal cities are particularly vulnerable to a variety of climate-related hazards, such as sea-level rise, …

Multi-hazard design of mid- to high-rise structures
The importance of multi-hazard design of structures has emerged in the last decade, as extensive media coverage of natural disasters have increased public awareness of the catastrophic damage that hurricanes and earthquakes can wreak on buildings and infrastructure. Current design codes treat …

APPLICATION OF MULTI-HAZARD SEISMIC-BLAST DETAILING FOR HIGHWAY BRIDGES
… objective of this research is to investigate multi-hazard seismic-blast correlations of blast-induced bridge components through numerical simulations of a high-precision finite element model of a typical highway bridge in New York. Seismic-detailing for blast loading on bridges has been …

Development of Fragility Curve Database for Multi-Hazard Performance Based Design
There is a need to develop efficient multi-hazard performance based design (PBD) tools to analyze and optimize buildings at a preliminary stage of design. The first step was to develop a database and it is supported by five major contributions: 1) development of nomenclature of variables in PBD; 2) …

Multi-hazard performance of bridge timber piles retrofitted with fiber reinforced polymer composites
… models for bridges subject to earthquake-tsunami hazards. Under earthquake-tsunami loading considerations, a sequential analysis framework is used to perform nonlinear dynamic time history analyses and tsunami impact simulations using the particle finite element method (PFEM). Failure criteria for …

Moving towards disaster: examining the changing patterns of social vulnerability in a multi-hazard urban environment
… examining social vulnerability in the context of multiple cities and evaluating the changing patterns of vulnerability in a multi-hazard urban environment. It adopts a political-economic framing of vulnerability production (Dooling and Simon 2012) that conceptualizes vulnerability as a dynamic …

Assessing Natural Hazards and Climate Change in a Mountain Region with a Hydrological Digital Twin
Rising social and economic losses from natural hazards, particularly in mountain regions, driven by increasing exposure, climate change-driven extremes, and improved impact reporting, highlight the need for a multi-hazard approach in their study. Multi-hazard risk assessment requires clear …

Landscapes of Danger: A Geospatial Analysis of Perceived and Realistic Risk in Bryce Canyon National Park
… Many attempts to estimate risk via natural hazards either focus on quantifying realistic risk or perceived risk of lay persons, with very little overlap between these paradigms. Due to this, a considerable knowledge gap exists within perceived risk and natural hazards research. This study …
