Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis to Contents and Non Structural Elements: Correlation Between Peak Ground Acceleration and Velocity

Abstract eng:
We propose an equation that correlates the seismic parameters of peak ground motion acceleration (Amax) and velocity (Vmax) commonly used to estimate damage to pipelines, building contents and non structural elements. This equation allows us to estimate peak velocity Vmax in terms of peak acceleration Amax. This means that, from an existing attenuation relation for Amax and a source model, it is possible to carry out a bivariated probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. An example of the probabilistic hazard assessment is presented for two sites at firm zone.
