(Elsevier BV, 2018-10)Multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) is a seismic exploration method for determination of near-surface shear wave velocity profiles based on analysis of horizontally travelling Rayleigh waves. This paper aims to propose a methodology and ... -
(Conspress, 2022-09-04)Iceland is the most seismically active region in northern Europe and damaging earthquakes repeatedly occur in the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ), a relatively densely populated region accommodating all critical infrastructures and lifelines. The ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-07-18)In June 2000, two Mw6.5 earthquakes occurred within a 4-day interval in the largest agricultural region of Iceland causing substantial damage and no loss of life. The distance between the earthquake epicentres and the fault rupture was approximately ...
-
(Conspress, Bucharest, Rumenia, 2022-09-04)In June 2000, two earthquakes of ~Mw6.5 struck in South Iceland, and in May 2008 the same region was hit again further west, with Mw6.3 event. Almost 5000 residential buildings were affected in each of these two seismic events. To fulfil insurance ...
-
(Conspress, 2022-09-04)Seismicity in Iceland is related to the Mid-Atlantic plate boundary and primarily consolidated in two complex fracture zones. Liquefaction was observed after the Mw 6.3 Ölfus earthquake in 2008 at the site Arnarbaeli. The site consists of a thick silty ...

(MDPI AG, 2020-08-17)The shear wave velocity profile is of primary interest for geological characterization of soil sites and elucidation of near-surface structures. Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) is a seismic exploration method for determination of near-surface ...
-
(Conspress, 2022-08-04)The earthquake hazard in Iceland is highest in its two transform zones, the South Iceland Seismic Zone in the South and the Tjörnes Fracture Zone in the North and the reliable probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) is the prerequisite for the ...
-
(Elsevier BV, 2020-04-15)In June 2000 two shallow, strike slip, Mw6.5 earthquakes occurred in the middle of the largest agricultural region in Iceland. The epicentres were close to small towns and villages and almost 5000 residential buildings were affected. A great deal of ...
-
(Conspress, 2022-09-04)An Mw6.30 earthquake occurred in south Iceland in May 2008. The epicentre and fault rupture occurred close to small villages and farms, affecting over 5000 residential buildings. Despite significant damage, no residential buildings collapsed. It is ...
-
(Conspress, 2022-09-04)The Geldingadalur eruption in the Reykjanes Peninsula on 19 March 2021 was preceded by several earthquakes of volcano-tectonic origin throughout 2020 and 2021. Seven earthquakes with magnitude M≥5 took place during the swarm, all of them recorded by ...
-
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2018-02)Multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) is a fast, low-cost, and environmentally friendly technique to estimate shear wave velocity profiles of soil sites. This paper introduces a new open-source software, MASWaves, for processing and analysing ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-05-30)Knowledge about the plastic behavior of reinforcement steel bars in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is important, especially for seismic design. This paper presents the results of experimental tests where the main aim was to map the plastic ...
