(Fig.3a, h). In both these latter two datasets, the streets and buildings within the town of Acipayam start to become visible, as well as more subtle fluvial features. The potential location of the projection of the east-dipping fault that is inferred to be immediately up-dip of the ...

In recent years, with development of the technology of earthquake-proof building construction, a possibility of collapsing of buildings in a major earthquake (for example, an earthquake with seismic intensity level 6) is decreasing. For this reason, collapsing of a building due to a major earthqua...
Major earthquakes are known to cause buildings to collapse, dishevel roads, shear pipe lines, disrupt communication, set fires, and inflict injuries which sometimes result in death. While significant advances have been made to reinforce structures against earthquakes, little has been done to reduce se...
Lastly and conclusively, a shock originating underground would be felt more strongly at ground level and least strongly in the upper floors of buildings, the reverse of what is observed. Therefore earthquakes must be atmospheric explosions. “But because the common people have seen their houses ...
rapidly retrofit all buildings with inadequate connections to avoid further collapses. Structural interventions were then massively aimed at preventing relative displacements between the various monolithic elements using more traditional and cheaper techniques. These techniques were generally based on steel ...
The complete retrofitting of damaged buildings in a shorter period of time is an important concern for researchers. To shorten the evaluation time, some scholars [19] have used an affinity diagram to describe the seven common damage modes of structural walls, whereas others [11,20] have ...
Furthermore, C9 (anti-seismic and fire-proof design of buildings), C12 (transportation systems), C13 (security systems), C16 (water supply systems), C17 (electricity supply systems), C18 (active fire control systems), and C20 (waste treatment systems), which belong to the group of urban ...
However, for the application using a large number of existing cameras in buildings, the computational cost of videos from dozens of cameras using a centralized computer becomes a huge burden. Moreover, when a manual process is required for processing the videos, prompt safety assessment of tens ...
