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]
Natural 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

Assessing infrequent large earthquakes using geomorphology and geodesy in the Malawi Rift [PDF]
, 2015 In regions with large, mature fault systems, a characteristic earthquake model may be more appropriate for modelling earthquake occurrence than extrapolating from a short history of small, instrumentally observed earthquakes using the Gutenberg–Richter ...

Comparing observed damages and losses with modelled ones using a probabilistic approach: the Lorca 2011 case [PDF]
, 2016 A loss and damage assessment was performed for the buildings of Lorca, Spain, considering an earthquake hazard scenario with similar characteristics to those of a real event which occurred on May 11th, 2011, in terms of epicentre, depth and magnitude ...

An efficient methodology to estimate probabilistic seismic damage curves [PDF]
, 2019 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.

A probabilistic approach to the seismic hazard in Kashmir basin, NW Himalaya
Geoscience Letters, 2019 Northwestern Himalaya is one of the most tectonically active domains of the Himalayan arc. The prevailing complex collisional tectonic setup is able to produce destructive earthquakes, most recent being the 8 October 2005 Kashmir earthquake (M7.6).

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of New Zealand [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 1998 Abstract We construct probabilistic seismic hazard (PSH) maps for New Zealand that are based on the distribution and long‐term recurrence behaviour of active faults and the spatial distribution of earthquakes observed in historic time. Slip rate, single‐event displacement, and return time data for 154 active faults (including segments of the Hikurangi ...
