Seismicity and Seismic Hazard of Northeastern Nevada
The February 21, 2008, Wells earthquake (MW=6.0) occurred in a region of northeastern Nevada where the seismicity has historically been low relative to western Nevada. In a region of area of approximately10 5 km 2 of northeastern Nevada, based rates of smaller earthquakes in the region prior to 2008, earthquakes of MW=6.0 or larger are expected with a rate of about 0.01 per year. The probabilit...
متن کاملSeismic Hazard Estimate from Background Seismicity in Southern California
We analyzed the historical seismicity in southern California to develop a rational approach for calculating the seismic hazard from background seismicity of magnitude 6.5 or smaller. The basic assumption for the approach is that future earthquakes will be clustered spatially near locations of historical mainshocks of magnitudes equal to or greater than 4. We analyzed the declustered California ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis for Ground Shaking
Foreword The purpose of the Delta Risk Management Strategy (DRMS) Initial Technical Framework (ITF) is to guide the analysis of specific technical topics as they relate to assessing potential risks to Delta levees and assets resulting from various potential impacts (e.g., floods, earthquakes, subsidence, and climate change). These ITFs are considered " starting points " for the work that is to ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment of Tehran Based on Arias Intensity
A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in terms of Arias intensity is presented for the city of Tehran. Tehran is the capital and the most populated city of Iran. From economical, political and social points of view, Tehran is the most significant city of Iran. Many destructive earthquakes happened in Iran in the last centuries. Historical references indicate that the old city of Rey and the...
متن کاملA Short Note on Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis
Although probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is the most widely used method to assess seismic hazard and risk for various aspects of public and financial policy, it contains a mathematical error in the formulations. This mathematical error results in difficulties in understanding and application of PSHA. A new approach is presented in this paper. Seismic hazards derived from the new ap...
