- Earthquake intensities are numerical values assigned to the effects of earthquakes on people and their works, and on the natural environment. Intensities are evaluated using the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale of 1931, which contains levels of effects ranging from intensity I, barely perceptible, to intensity XII, total damage.

What is the magnitude of an earthquake?
An earthquake has a single magnitude. The shaking that it causes has many values that vary from place to place based on distance, type of surface material, and other factors. See the Intensity section below for more details on shaking intensity measurements. Types of Magnitudes.

Aug 1, 2021 · In hazard analysis, intensity measures (IM) and their annual frequency of exceedance (λ IM) are defined by probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA). In structural analysis, the response of the structure to a given IM can be modeled and expressed in terms of engineering demand parameters (EDPs), such as structural drift, maximal top ...

Apr 1, 2024 · The optimal earthquake intensity measure (IM) has been defined for underground structure in probabilistic seismic demand model. (2) The efficiency, practically, proficiency of IMs has been analyzed based on conventional and updated metrics for underground structure.
Apr 22, 2022 · Over the last several decades, the practice of seismic hazard analysis has evolved enormously, firstly with the introduction of a rational framework for handling the apparent randomness in earthquake processes, which also enabled risk assessments to consider both the severity and likelihood of earthquake effects.
The Richter scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes, and the Mercalli scale measures their intensity. (more) See all videos for this article. The violence of seismic shaking varies considerably over a single affected area. Because the entire range of observed effects is not capable of simple quantitative definition, the strength of the ...
