Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) for Lesvos Island Using the Logic Tree Approach

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece, 2019
We carry out a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) for Lesvos Island, in the northeastern Aegean Sea. Being the most populated island in the northern Aegean Sea and hosting the capital of the prefecture, its seismic potential has significant social-economic meaning. For the seismic hazard estimation, the newest version of the R-CRISIS module,

Selection of appropriate intensity measure for collapse capacity prediction of low to mid-rise steel special moment resisting frames [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2017
A parameter that quantitatively represents the strength of a ground motion is called Intensity Measure (IM). The value of an IM for a given hazard level is the output parameter of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) which is used in structural ...

A Short Term Seismic Hazard Assessment in Christchurch, New Zealand, After the M 7.1, 4 September 2010 Darfield Earthquake: An Application of a Smoothing Kernel and Rate-and-State Friction Model

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2012
The Mw 6.3, 21 February 2011 Christchurch, New Zealand, earthquake is regarded as an aftershock of the M 7.1, 4 September 2010 Darfield earthquake. However, it caused severe damage in the downtown Christchurch.

New Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Model for Nepal Himalayas by Integrating Distributed Seismicity and Major Thrust Faults

Geosciences, 2023
Nepal is one of the most seismically active regions in the world, as highlighted by the recent devastating 2015, Mw~7.8 Gorkha earthquake, and a robust assessment of seismic hazard is paramount for the design of earthquake-resistant structures.

Sensitivity Analysis of Seismic Parameters in the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) for Barcelona Applying the New R-CRISIS

Computación y Sistemas, 2018
One of the most common ways to represent results of the probabilistic seismic hazard assessments (PSHA) are maps of seismic hazard, which usually show values of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) in a region for a return period. A common return period is of 475 years.

Planar seismic source characterization models developed for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Istanbul [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017
This contribution provides an updated planar seismic source characterization (SSC) model to be used in the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) for Istanbul. It defines planar rupture systems for the four main segments of the North Anatolian

Transposing an active fault database into a fault-based seismic hazard assessment for nuclear facilities – Part 2: Impact of fault parameter uncertainties on a site-specific PSHA exercise in the Upper Rhine Graben, eastern France [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017
We perform a fault-based probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) exercise in the Upper Rhine Graben to quantify the relative influence of fault parameters on the hazard at the Fessenheim nuclear power plant site. Specifically, we show that the

A Logic-Tree Approach for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Administrative Region of Attica (Greece)

Applied Sciences, 2023
Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) was carried out for the administrative region of Attica (Greece). Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) values were calculated for return periods of 475 and 950 years for five sub ...
