Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of earthquakes on the labor market. The authors try to estimate the impact of two major earthquakes (Izmir and Elazig) in Turkey. Design/methodology/approach In order to analyze the effects of devastating earthquakes in the nearby ...
which made it difficult for them to adapt to school. One student expressed the difficulty she experienced as follows:“My anxiety was increasing because I always had the fear of earthquakes in my mind. This made it difficult for me to focus on school and lessons.”(Nilay,...
Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are widely used in buildings to resist lateral forces and effectively reduce the lateral displacements of the structure because of their large lateral stiffness and strength (Wei, Chen, and Xie Citation2022). As it is well-established, earthquakes are one of ...
Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities (死亡) have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destr

However, more common natural disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, wildfires, dust storms, and hurricanes, are likely analogs that can provide the scope and scale of these potential effects. These events, especially the larger events with cascading effects, are key for understanding ...
Hausler and Sitar (2001) studied more than 90 case histories on the performance of improved sites from 14 earthquakes in Japan, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United States. They found that about 10 percent of the surveyed sites required significant post-earthquake remediation or demolition because of ...
Ensuring the safety and functionality of petrochemical plants after a strong earthquake is critical, particularly due to the presence of hazardous chemical materials stored in pressurized vessels and reaction tanks that can be flammable or toxic. Strong earthquakes in chemical units can cause severe stru...
