Seismic risk Seismic risk Seismic risk refers to the risk of damage from earthquake to a building, system, or other entity. Seismic risk has been defined, for most management purposes, as the potential economic, social and environmental consequences of hazardous events that may occur in a specified period of time. A building located in a region of high seismic hazard is at lower risk if it is built to sound seismic engineering principles. On the other hand, a building located in a region with a history of minor seismicity, in a brick building located on fill subject to liquifaction can be as
Seismic inverse Q filtering from the phase. Comparing with fig.1.b. we can see that the smaller the reference frequency f in the forward solution,the more phase effect we get. In the inverse solution (1.8.a) we have the opposite effect,the higher value of f the more the forward phase effect is compensated, toward a causal solution. The graphs give a good illustration of Q-filtering according to the theory of Wang. However, more calculations should be done and more seismic models should be introduced. The effect of amplitude inverse Q-filtering should also be studied. Seismic inverse Q filtering Seismic inverse Q filtering is a data processing
