Seismic Hazard Assessment of the Tehran Region

, 2014
The region around Tehran is considered a high seismicity area. It should arouse more concern to the seismic safety of this city given that the last damaging earthquake occurred nearly 200 years ago, and the geotechnical condition in the study area ...

Seismic hazard assessment of the Shillong Plateau, India

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2018
The Shillong Plateau is an earthquake-prone region in the northeastern India. Based on regional seismotectonic studies, we present here a deterministic seismic hazard assessment (DSHA) and maps of peak horizontal accelerations (PHA) for three largely ...

Neo-deterministic Definition of Seismic and Tsunami Hazard Scenarios for the Territory of Gujarat (India).

, 2015
A reliable and comprehensive characterization of expected seismic ground shaking is essential to improve building codes, particularly for the protection of critical infrastructures and for land use planning. So far, one of the major problems in classical
