Seismic hazard mapping of Ohrid, North Macedonia

The city of Ohrid is one the oldest settlements in western Balkans, exceptionally rich with archeological, architectural, and cultural sites, which must be protected from damage during future earthquakes by proper retrofitting strengthening old structures. To provide a sound basis for work, this paper, we describe amplitudes strong ground motion range probabilities being exceeded. We use Uniform Hazard Method to compute motion, and, calculations, explicitly include geological site conditions all maps show. By noting large jumps predicted at sites along contact between basement rock sediments, emphasize that empirical scaling equations explicit dependence on conditions.
