1. • • The intensity of an earthquake is a measure of the shaking created by the earthquake. Intensity varies with location. The magnitude of an earthquake is a measured value of the energy released by an earthquake calculated from the amount of slip on a fault multiplied by the size of the area that slipped.

   What are seismic intensity measures?

   • Seismic intensity measures are essential quantitative parameters for evaluating and predicting engineering structures’ seismic risk and vulnerability. Various regional earthquake analysis and vulnerability models with evaluation and prediction capabilities have been developed using macroseismic and instrumental intensity measures.

   Can seismic intensity measure function and regional structural seismic risk model be used?

   • The seismic intensity measure function and regional structural seismic risk model developed and improved in this paper can provide favorable references for establishing relatively reasonable large-scale regional seismic resilience and functional recovery models. All the work of this study was independently completed by Dr. Si-Qi Li.

   What are earthquake magnitudes & intensity?

   • Earthquakes can be described in terms of their magnitude, which reflects the amount of energy released by the shaking. They can also be described in terms of intensity, which characterizes the impact of the shaking on people and their surroundings. Earthquake magnitudes are determined by measuring the amplitudes of seismic waves.

   How do we improve seismic intensity measures?

   • This work improves old seismic intensity measures and proposes an instrument intensity model. An index calculation model of vulnerability membership is innovatively proposed. The outdated seismic vulnerability regression model has been improved. A relatively reasonable optimized Gaussian distribution model is proposed.

   May 5, 2021 · In performance-based seismic assessment, structural response is characterised using fragility functions based on a seismic intensity measure (IM). IMs are typically related to the characteristics of ground shaking and structural dynamic properties, with the spectral acceleration at the first and dominant mode of vibration, Sa(T1), being a ...
