GIES - Geofísica i Enginyeria Sísmica

 

Durant el periode 2014-2017, el grup ha participat en 7 projectes RDi competitius i 1 projecte d'innovació docent. Un membre del GIES pertany al comitè organitzador de l'Action COST TU 1208 -Civil Engineering Applications (Unió Europea) i ha estat membre de l'organització del congrés internacional d'aquesta Action COST a Barcelona. El grup ha publicat 27 articles en revistes indexades JCR, 25 articles i collaboracions en revistes no indexades, 2 capítols de llibre i 28 actas i presentacions a congressos. També consten 34 projectes no competitius o convenis amb administracions o empreses.

The group's aims are research, outreach, training and results transfer in fields related to geophysics and earthquake engineering.

    One of the most common ways to represent results of the probabilistic seismic hazard assessments (PSHA) are maps of seismic hazard, which usually show values of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) in a region for a return period. ...

  • Seismic site classification from the horizontal-to-vertical response spectral ratios: use of the Spanish strong-motion database 

    Pinzón, Luis A.; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Macau, Albert; Carreño, Emilio; Alcalde Camino, Juan Manuel (2019-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    Normally, the average of the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) ratios of the 5% damped response spectra of ground motions is used to classify the site of strong-motion stations. In these cases, only the three-orthogonal as-recorded ...

  • An alternative approach to consider the effect of seismic directionality 

    Díaz Carrasco, Sergio; Pinzón, Luis A.; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Vargas Alzate, Yeudy Felipe (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2018-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    Recent researches have proven the importance of considering the seismic directionality effect. The performance of buildings subjected to earthquakes depends on its orientation respect to the seismic actions applied. This ...
