Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Induced Seismicity
2014Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis is currently the most common approach to seismic hazard analysis. For application to induced seismicity, a major challenge is the fact that the hazard is inherently nonstationary. In this paper we describe the theoretical extension of PSHA to a non-stationary context.

Quantitative Seismic Hazard Assessment
2007We analyze the ingredients required for deterministic wave propagation simulation in order to estimate more accurately ground motion in terms of amplitude, frequency content and duration. Building maps of expected ground motion before a catastrophic event for various scenarios may help design ways to mitigate impacts of ground vibrations as well as ...

Seismic Hazard for Critical Facilities
2014Critical facilities are man-made equipments, plants, constructions, and structures that, if affected by a strong earthquake, can produce serious impacts on people, environment, and economy. Therefore, for these facilities specific provisions in terms of seismic design are required and detailed seismic hazard evaluations have to be developed.

This chapter gives an overview of how earthquakes lead to different hazards affecting a site, and how probabilistic hazard estimates are evaluated in seismic assessment and retrofit projects. It describes the characteristics of an earthquake that lead to ground shaking at a site, including source, wave passage and site effects, and quantitative metrics

Seismic Hazard vs. Seismic Risk
Seismological Research Letters, 2009The world is full of uncertainties, ranging from climate change, financial markets, natural disasters, terror attacks, and personal health to the measurements of the most fundamental elements of all: time and space. Dealing with uncertainty is a given in life, and any decision is always made under a certain degree of uncertainty.

This section deals with the seismic hazard computation process. It should be noted that, in cases where the seismic hazard to be calculated includes site-specific soil amplifications, this process may include two steps: hazard calculation for reference rock conditions and subsequent site response analysis to combine the local soil response with the ...
