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

Probabilistic Modelling of the Seismic Hazard using the Romanian Earthquake Catalogue [PDF]
Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2005 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 ...
