PSHA for the Dominican Republic

2023
The Dominican Republic, situated on eastern Hispaniola Island in the Caribbean, is subject to moderate to high seismic hazard mostly controlled by oblique convergence at the Caribbean/North American plate boundary. Offshore of the island, the North Hispaniola Trench (NHT) and Los Muertos Trough (LMT) subduction-like structures accommodate shortening ...

PSHA: is it science?

Engineering Geology, 2002
Abstract Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is beginning to be seen as unreliable. The problem with PSHA is that its data are inadequate and its logic is defective. Much more reliable, and more scientific, are deterministic procedures, especially when coupled with engineering judgment.

THE ROLE OF UNCERTAINTY OF MODEL PARAMETERS IN PSHA

Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019
Current approaches for the seismic hazard assessment, are mainly based on the classical formulation of the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, widely known with the acronym PSHA. This procedure is able to compute the annual rate of exceedance of a set of ground motion intensity measures at a site of interest.
