Assessment of seismic hazards in Yemen

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
The seismic hazard analyses for Yemen have attracted the attention of researchers during the last two decades. However, the studies are limited and mainly use deterministic or approximate conventional probabilistic approaches.

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis

open access: yes, 1988
Abstract : The NRC Committee on Seismology established the Panel on Seismic Hazard Analysis to assess methodologies. The panel concentrated on the probabilistic method but also examined alternatives. The panel's discussions included a review of the extensive hazard analyses for the eastern United States by the Electric Power Research Institute and ...

Time-dependent probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and its application to Hualien City, Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Here, we propose a time-dependent probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and apply it to Hualien City, Taiwan. A declustering catalog from 1940 to 2005 was used to build up a long-term seismicity rate model using a smoothing Kernel function.

Transposing an active fault database into a seismic hazard fault model for nuclear facilities – Part 1: Building a database of potentially active faults (BDFA) for metropolitan France [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017
The French Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), with the support of the Ministry of Environment, compiled a database (BDFA) to define and characterize known potentially active faults of metropolitan France. The general structure

Seismic hazard assessment of Iran

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1999
The development of the new seismic hazard map of Iran is based on probabilistic seismic hazard computation using the historical earthquakes data, geology, tectonics, fault activity and seismic source models in Iran.

Integration of local soil effect into the assessment of seismic hazard at the Kharga Oasis, Western Desert, Egypt

open access: yesScientific African, 2021
The effect of local soil is integrated into the assessment of seismic hazard at the Kharga Oasis, Western Desert, Egypt. The work is done by adopting the probabilistic approach of seismic hazard assessment and the site response analysis.

The 1976 Guatemala Earthquake: ESI Scale and Probabilistic/Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis Approaches

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
A hazard assessment of the 1976 Guatemala earthquake (M = 7.5) was conducted to achieve a better definition of the seismic hazard. The assessment was based on the environmental effects that had effectively contributed to the high destructive impact of ...

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Kazakhstan and Almaty city in peak ground accelerations

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2018
As for many post-soviet countries, Kazakhstan's building code for seismic design was based on a deterministic approach. Recently, Kazakhstan seismologists are engaged to adapt the PSHA (probabilistic hazard assessment) procedure to the large amount of ...
