Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis

, 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 ...

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

Scientific 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.

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

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Offshore Bangladesh Including Fault Sources [PDF]

, 2018
This paper presents a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for a site offshore Maheshkhali Island, Bangladesh. The tectonic setting of the area is complex, and the PSHA includes active crustal faults, megathrust and intraplate subduction faults ...

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 in low-seismicity regions: an investigation of sensitivity with a focus on Finland

Natural Hazards, 2022
AbstractWe investigate probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in low-seismicity regions in which epistemic uncertainties are largely due to the sparsity of data, with a focus on Finland, northern Europe. We investigate the sensitivity of site-specific PSHA outcomes to different choices of basic input parameters, starting from preexisting PSHA ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
