  1. 3 days ago · Multiple magnitude scales exist to measure the intensity and energy released by an earthquake. The most commonly used scale is the Richter scale, which measures the amplitude of seismic waves recorded by seismographs. The Moment Magnitude scale (Mw) is also widely used and provides a more accurate estimation of an earthquake’s total energy ...

  5. 4 days ago · About REDAS. REDAS (Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System) is a software developed by PHIVOLCS in 2002 under a DOST GIA Project. The software can simulate earthquake hazards such as ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides and tsunami. The software can also compute earthquake impacts in terms of physical damage, casualties and economic loss.

  7. 3 days ago · The Effect of Building Height on Earthquake Vibrations. Taller buildings tend to amplify earthquake shaking more than shorter buildings or ground-level structures. This is because taller buildings have a longer natural period, which means they can absorb and amplify the lower-frequency vibrations generated during an earthquake.

  8. 1 day ago · Reinforced concrete (RC) rigid-frame bridges with tall hollow piers were widely constructed in Southwestern China, an earthquake-prone area. For such bridges, the seismic damages may be underestimated if multiple bends of tall piers are overlooked using a conventional damage measure such as the drift ratio. Moreover, the seismic damage assessment can be inaccurate if tall piers’ shear ...
