Human and economic losses caused by landslides have attracted the interest of the scientific community for the identification of the threatened areas and preventing their consequences. The goal of the ...
Bernal Granados, Gabriel Andrés (Date of defense: 2014-11-09)
In the assessment of seismic risk, hazard is one of its main components, given that, from a probabilistic perspective, provides the annual rates of exceedance of the intensities of strong motion in the ...
