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

Probabilistic Modelling of the Seismic Hazard using the Romanian Earthquake Catalogue [PDF]
The actual trend of performance based modelling of the seismic action is to adopt probabilistic models of the seismic hazard. In the first part of the paper are presented theoretical aspects of the seismic hazard definition from the probabilistic point ...

An efficient methodology to estimate probabilistic seismic damage curves [PDF]
The incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is a powerful methodology that can be easily extended for calculating probabilistic seismic damage curves. These curves are metadata to assess the seismic risk of structures.
