The metropolitan community of Montreal (MMC) is located in Eastern Canada and included in the western Quebec seismic zone characterized by shallow crustal earthquakes and moderate seismicity. Most of the urbanized areas are settled close to the Saint-Law...

In this study, we analyzed the near-field seismic records of two moderate sized earthquakes in the Western Balkan region: the September 2016 Skopje earthquake, magnitude ML5.3 and the March 2020 Zagreb earthquake, magnitude ML5.5. Such recordings at clos...

Engineering practitioners do not usually include soil-structure interactions in building design; rather, it is common to model and design foundations as embedded joints with joint?based reactions. In some cases, foundation structures are modeled as rigid...

Cultural heritage represents our legacy with the past and our identity. However, to assure heritage can be passed on to future generations, it is required to put into the field knowledge as well as preventive and safeguard actions, especially for heritag...

This study presents a generic model for constructing shear-wave velocity (VS) profiles for various conditions that can be used for modeling the upper-crustal modification effects in ground motion simulations for seismic hazard analysis. The piecewise P-w...

The settlement at the dam crest induced by earthquake loading is an important design parameter widely used to evaluate the seismic performance of dams. Two-dimensional nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed to calculate the dam crest settlement of ear...

After the M = 7.0 Haiti earthquake in 2010, many teams completed seismic risk studies in Port-au-Prince to better understand why this not extraordinarily strong event had induced one of the most severe earthquake disasters in history (at least in the Wes...
