Seismic response of the geologic structure underlying the Roman Colosseum and a 2-D resonance of a sediment valley
The seismic response of the geologic structure beneath the Colosseum is investigated using a two-dimensional modeling for a vertically incident plane SH wave. Computations indicate that the southern part of the Colosseum may be exposed to a seismic ground motion with significantly larger amplitudes, differential motion and longer duration than the northern part. because the southern part of the Colosseum is underlain by a sedimentfilled valley created by sedimentary filling of the former tributary of the River Tiber. A 2-D resonance may develop in the valley. Unlike the previous theoretical studies on 2-D resonance in sediment-filled valleys, an effect of heterogeneous valley surroundings on the resonance is partly investigated. A very small sensitivity of the maximum spectral amplifications connected with the fundamental and first higher modes to the presence of a horizontal surface layer (with an intermediate velocity) in the valley surroundings is observed in the studied models

The SHARE European Earthquake Catalogue (SHEEC) 1000â1899
In the frame of the European Commission
project âSeismic Hazard Harmonization in Europeâ
(SHARE), aiming at harmonizing seismic hazard at a
European scale, the compilation of a homogeneous,
European parametric earthquake catalogue was planned.
The goal was to be achieved by considering the most
updated historical dataset and assessing homogenous
magnitudes, with support from several institutions. This
paper describes the SHARE European Earthquake
Catalogue (SHEEC), which covers the time window
1000â1899. It strongly relies on the experience of the
European Commission project âNetwork of Research
Infrastructures for European Seismologyâ (NERIES), a
module of which was dedicated to create the European
âArchive of Historical Earthquake Dataâ (AHEAD) and
to establish methodologies to homogenously derive earthquake
parameters from macroseismic data. AHEAD has
supplied the final earthquake list, obtained after sorting duplications out and eliminating many fake events; in
addition, it supplied the most updated historical dataset.
Macroseismic data points (MDPs) provided by AHEAD
have been processed with updated, repeatable procedures,
regionally calibrated against a set of recent, instrumental
earthquakes, to obtain earthquake parameters. From the
same data, a set of epicentral intensity-to-magnitude relations
has been derived,with the aimof providing another set
of homogeneous Mw estimates. Then, a strategy focussed
on maximizing the homogeneity of the final epicentral
location and Mw, has been adopted. Special care has been
devoted also to supply location and Mw uncertainty. The
paper focuses on the procedure adopted for the compilation
of SHEEC and briefly comments on the achieved results
