(University of Pretoria, 2014-04-30)The research attempts to resolve which method of estimation is the most consistent for the parameters of the earthquake model, and how these different methods of estimation, as well as other changes, in the earthquake model ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)Some validations of and extensions to the Parametric‐Historic procedure as developed in a two‐paper sequel by Andrzej Kijko and Gerhard Graham in 1998 and 1999 are presented. The source‐free distribution they derive is ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)A generic methodology for probabilistic natural hazard assessment is presented. Three area-characteristic recurrence parameters are defined by combining a Poisson process with the relevant natural-hazard-frequency–event-size ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)The majority of injuries and casualties during earthquakes occur as a result of partial or complete collapse of buildings. The assessment of possible seismic ground motions for the purposes of earthquake-resistant design ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)The recent increase in seismic activity in the Central Rand Basin of South Africa was investigated using two different approaches. The closure of mines throughout the basin has left a large underground void behind that has ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2013)This study provides systematic analysis of points of structural change in probability distributions. In observed frequency data of earthquakes, such a threshold exists due to the non-detection of events below a certain ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2014)In this study, the seismic hazards of Zimbabwe are presented as maps showing probabilistic peak ground acceleration (PGA). Seismic hazards maps have a 10% chance of exceeding the indicated ground acceleration over a 50 ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) is not a new study field — indeed, it dates from the late 1960s. However, the original and introductory study paid scant attention to a crucial aspect, namely the estimation of ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)Mount Cameroon is considered the only active volcano along a 1600 km long chain of volcanic complexes called the Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL). It has erupted seven times during the last 100 years, the most recent was in ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2018)The work presented in this thesis arose from the requirement in the military environment to obtain infrared radiation source/signature values of target objects usually of interest to infrared missiles under development. ...
