Seismic zoning methods and seismic hazard assessments
Informatization and communication, 2022The paper considers methods and models for seismic hazard assessment and features of seismic monitoring in Central Siberia. The article is a continuation of the work on the study of algorithmic support for performing a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) as one of the main stages in engineering seismological surveys.

Seismicity and seismic hazard assessment in West Africa
Journal of African Earth Sciences, 2021No in-depth seismic hazard (SH) study for West Africa (WA) has ever been conducted, as the regional earthquake catalogues are incomplete. Such lack of comprehensive SH study has negatively affected planning and development of critical infrastructure and disaster risk management in WA.

Seismic Hazard Assessment for Bucharest
2018In this section, a ground motion model is derived specifically for the Bucharest area using a dataset consisting of both recorded and simulated ground motions from Vrancea intermediate-depth earthquakes. The proposed ground motion model is able to capture the significant long-period spectral ordinates generated by the large magnitude Vrancea ...

Seismic hazard assessment of Afghanistan
Journal of Seismology, 2018Afghanistan is located at the collision boundary of the Indian, Eurasian and Arabian plates and, therefore, lies in a seismically active region. Few probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) studies have been carried out for Afghanistan, which present only peak ground acceleration (PGA) values.

Seismic hazard assessment in Panama
Engineering Geology, 1997Abstract In this study we have created a set of three iso-acceleration maps for the Isthmus of Panama. These maps represent the expected peak ground acceleration (PGA) values, at soil sites, for annual exceedance probabilities of 0.004, 0.002 and 0.001, which correspond to return periods of 250, 500 and 1000 years, respectively.

Seismic hazard and risk assessment
2011The prediction program in China has provided useful experience and taught many lessons. The most important lesson is that, regardless of its future potential, it is presently impractical to rely on prediction to prevent earthquake disasters. The practical approach is to strengthen the resilience of our built environment based on an assessment of ...

Seismic hazard assessment for Cyprus
Journal of Seismology, 2009In the present study, probabilistic seismic hazard assessment was conducted for Cyprus based on several new results: a new comprehensive earthquake catalog, seismic source models based on new research, and new attenuation relationships. Peak ground acceleration distributions obtained for a return period of 475 years for rock conditions indicate high ...

Advanced Seismic Hazard Assessment
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2010Issues pertaining to urban risks are a pressing concern for people involved in disaster mitigation. With the progressing urban sprawl and the emergence of mega-cities around the world, disasters of all kinds become an inevitable consequence of uncontrolled urbanization.
