📢 I’m thrilled to share my recent paper, "𝗦𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗮𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝗯𝗼𝗻: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟴", available in the Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering! This paper represents a very special milestone, as it stems from my PhD research. I am grateful to share this work alongside my co-authors and supervisors, Rui Carrilho Gomes and Paula Teves-Costa, whose continuous support and guidance were fundamental to this journey. 💡Why is this research important? Understanding local soil behavior and seismic wave propagation is critical for urban safety. As we transition to the second generation of Eurocode 8, it is essential to update our frameworks for seismic microzonation. In this paper, we bridge the gap between academic research and practical engineering by: 🗺️ Developing a new, comprehensive H800 map tailored for the city of Lisbon. 🔍 Comparing the site categorization criteria between the first and second generations of Eurocode 8. 🏗️ Providing actionable geospatial data that can help practitioners, civil engineers, and urban planners better assess seismic risk. Translating complex geotechnical and geophysical data into practical, decision-making tools is a crucial step in mitigating seismic risk and planning a more resilient city for the future. 🌍🏙️ 🔗 You can read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/eKiZQDF9 Springer Nature #Geophysics #Geotechnics #EarthquakeEngineering #Eurocode8 #SeismicResilience #Lisbon #UrbanPlanning #PhDResearch
