Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Map on the French National Territory
نویسنده
چکیده
Seismic hazard assessment for the construction of earthquake-resistant buildings, in particular of critical facilities, in France follows traditionally a deterministic approach. The aim of the French Working Group EPAS (Evaluation Probabiliste de l’Aléa Sismique / Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment), under the aegis of the AFPS (Association Française de Génie Parasismique / French Association for Earthquake Engineering), including organisms like BRGM, IPSN, EDF and GEOTER, is to propose a probabilistic seismic hazard map for the French metropolitan national territory for conventional structures.

Historical references indicate that the old city of Rey and the...
متن کاملProbabilistic earthquake hazard Analysis with considering Risk-Based concept (Case study of olefin 14)
Background and objective: numerous seismic hazard analysis studies are conducted annually using probabilistic methods throughout the world and Iran, which are usually different from the initial assumptions of analysis or software used. On the other hand, many researches are presented every year about new methods of earthquake hazard zoning, but so far these studies have not computed earthquake ...
متن کاملInvestigation of forward directivity effects on design spectra of industrial complexes near Assaluyeh fault
Recorded ground motions in near fault region have completely distinct nature from others that recorded in far field of the fault. Near source outcomes cause much of the seismic energy to appear in a single large and long period pulse at the beginning of the velocity record. Assaluyeh complex is located near the reverse Assaluyeh fault that is a segment of Mountain Front Fault. This complex cont...

In the framework of investigation the deductive probabilistic approach of hazard assessment has been applied to the Moldova Republic territory for reviewing the present seismic zoning. The main results presented in this paper are the MSK-intensity and PGA-acceleration maps for 500, 1000 and 10 000 years return periods.
متن کاملProbabilistic Seismic-Hazard Assessment Including Site Effects for Evansville, Indiana, and the Surrounding Region
Evansville, Indiana, is one of the closest large urban areas to both the New Madrid Seismic Zone, where large earthquakes occurred in 1811–1812, and the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, where there is evidence of several large prehistoric earthquakes in the last 14,000 yr. For this reason, Evansville has been targeted as a priority region for urban seismic-hazard assessment. The probabilistic seismi...
