Why is Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) still used? [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2017
Abstract Even though it has never been validated by objective testing, Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) has been widely used for almost 50 years by governments and industry in applications with lives and property hanging in the balance, such as deciding safety criteria for nuclear power plants, making official national hazard maps ...

PSHA Validated by Quasi Observational Means [PDF]

open access: yesSeismological Research Letters, 2012
It might seem odd to be writing about confirmation of the validity of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in 2011, given that the method has been successfully applied in countless studies worldwide over the last 40 years. However, the fact that papers still occasionally find their way into print attacking the method as mathematically invalid

Philosophical aspects of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA): a critical review [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards, 2023
The goal of this paper is to review and critically discuss the philosophical aspects of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA). Given that estimates of seismic hazard are typically riddled with uncertainty, different epistemic values (related to ...

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.
