Ground motion models for the induced earthquakes by the geothermal power plants activity

Ali Khansefid et al.

Summary: This research paper focuses on developing ground motion models to simulate the main characteristics of earthquake accelerograms induced by geothermal power plants. A worldwide database of GPP-induced earthquakes was collected and processed to study their seismic characteristics. Different sets of ground motion models were then developed.

Seismic performance assessment of a masonry building under earthquakes induced by geothermal power plants operation

Ali Khansefid et al.

Summary: This research investigates the effects of induced earthquakes by geothermal power plants (GPPs) on a masonry building in terms of structural behavior and occupants' comfort. The study reveals that the building does not suffer significant structural damages, but the experienced vibration can disturb the comfort of the occupants.

Time-Dependent Seismic Hazard Analysis for Induced Seismicity: The Case of St Gallen (Switzerland), Geothermal Field

Vincenzo Convertito et al.

Summary: Reliable seismic hazard analyses are crucial in mitigating seismic risk, especially when dealing with induced seismicity that requires modification of the standard PSHA. Modifying the standard PSHA to calculate time-dependent seismic hazard can predict ground motion effectively, supporting project managers in making decisions.

Lifetime risk-based seismic performance assessment of buildings equipped with supplemental damping and base isolation systems under probable mainshock-aftershock scenarios

A. Khansefid

Summary: This research explores the effectiveness of different passive vibration control systems in mitigating the seismic risk of typical buildings under mainshock-aftershock sequences. Utilizing a novel probabilistic framework, the study found that linear viscous dampers were the most effective among the considered systems. Neglecting the effects of aftershocks can lead to an underestimation of the estimated lifetime risk of buildings, with the North Tehran, Kahrizak, and Mosha faults playing significant roles in contributing to the overall estimated risk.
