In order to provide suitable gap values, the research models 18 buildings with varying floor numbers and varying bay numbers in X and Y directions in SAP 2000 v 20 and a total of 153 building combinations were generated from those 18 models....
Indeed, the EIOPA Dashboard shows a high insurance coverage gap in many earthquake-prone countries in southern Europe. Earthquakes are particularly challenging in Greece and Italy, where the protection gap score is the highest, due to the high risk and very low insurance penetration (EIOPA 2022)...
A fence that crossed the San Andreas Fault was displaced more than 8 feet by the 1906 earthquake, creating the gap shown in the center of the photo. Public domain image viaUS Geological Survey. The first finding hinted at how seismic energy propagates differently through different materials; th...
Since the devastating earthquakes of Izmit and Duzce in 1999, the seismicity along the submerged section of North Anatolian Fault within the Sea of Marmara (comprising the “Istanbul seismic gap”) has been extensively studied in order to infer its mechanical behaviour (creeping vs locked). So ...
Ground movement forces the lead to pass through a narrow gap. When the direction of movement changes, the flow of lead is reversed. The principle is still the same as the lead rubber bearing, with kinetic energy being converted into heat energy, thereby preventing the building absor...
1)Seismic gap地震空区 1.In this paper, the features of spatial-temporal distribution and processes of evolution of seismic gap are studied in the northern area of Tibet Plateau.研究了青藏高原北部地区地震空区的时空演化特征,结果表明大部分MS≥5地震在孕育发展过程中会形成空区,从孕震空区形成到发震...
The horizontal behavior of the element is based on a series combination of bidirectional elastic-plastic springs and the circular gap elements. The new TPB element was verified by the full scale test data and has been implemented in OpenSees so that it is available for general use. The ...
To fill such gap, capacity design criteria for multi-storey precast concrete frames with hinged beams are presented. Based on the same approach prescribed by the codes for monolithic cast-in-place frames, a distribution of floor forces and a value of behaviour factor are assumed to perform a ...

Apart from the loaded fault segments, particularly on the fault linkage, which necessitate continuous examination, a detailed seismic hazard assessment of the west Qinling and Daotanghe-Linxia fault system identifies a seismic gap between Weiyuan and Dingxi with the potential for a Mw7.5 earthquake. ...
