Circular segment Circular segment In geometry, a circular segment (symbol: ⌓) is a region of a circle which is "cut off" from the rest of the circle by a secant or a chord. More formally, a circular segment is a region of two-dimensional space that is bounded by an arc (of less than 180°) of a circle and by the chord connecting the endpoints of the arc. Let "R" be the radius of the circle, "θ" the central angle in radians, α is the central angle in degrees, "c" the chord length, "s" the arc length, "h" the sagitta (height) of the
Environmental Seismic Intensity scale or lower, the ESI 2007 scale is intended to be used as a supplement to other intensity scales. a) the Definition of intensity degrees on the basis of Earthquake Environmental Effects; b) the Guidelines, which aim at better clarifying i) the background of the scale and the scientific concepts that support the introduction of such a new macroseismic scale; ii) the procedure to use the scale alone or integrated with damage-based, traditional scales; iii) how the scale is organized; iv) the descriptions of diagnostic features required for intensity assessment, and the meaning of idioms, colors, and fonts. Since 2007, the
