This paper presents a study on determining the degree of effectiveness of earthquake risk mitigation measures and how to prioritize such efforts in developing countries. In this paper a model is proposed for optimizing funds allocation towards risk reduction measures (building retrofitting) and reconstruction process after potential earthquakes in a regional level. The proposed model seeks opti...

Disaggregation of probabilistic seismic hazard allows to quantify how much one or more earthquake scenarios contribute the occurrence [exceedance] a ground motion intensity measure ( I M ) $( {IM} )$ threshold interest (x) at construction site. The scenario is usually defined in terms magnitude (M), source-to-site distance (R), and possibly includes standardized residual (?) model considered an...

Seismic hazard analysis of vulnerable countries on the Alpine-Himalayan belt has great importance to be considered. Recently, Iran as one of the countries located on the stated belt has experienced a few number of severe earthquakes. A wellestablished index of how earthquakes affect buildings is by assessing probable Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) which can be estimated by past events. For this...

The aim of this study is to assess seismic hazard for Burdur City (SW Turkey) using a probabilistic approach. A new earthquake catalog and its vicinity, with unified moment magnitude scale, was prepared in the scope study. Seismicity area evaluated by Gutenberg-Richter recurrence relationship. For computation, R-CRISIS (v18) software used. New Generation Attenuation models were used analyses. S...

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, as the most prevalent approach to evaluate earthquake hazard, is commonly based on catalogs. Although previous studies show that recurrence time of large-magnitude (Mw> 7.0) events in Iran more than ~ 1000–2000 years, available instrumentally recorded earthquakes are limited less 100 years. With idea having another proxy for seismicity rates, we propose a ...
