Site-Specific Seismic Hazard Analysis

Abstract eng:
Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis has traditionally been calculated using rock conditions and modifying the rock hazard results using deterministic site-specific amplification factors. Results by McGuire et al (2001, 2002) and Bazzurro and Cornell (2004) have shown that nonlinearities in site response and uncertainties in the response are important in estimating site-specific hazard. Previous studies demonstrate that convolution of rock seismic hazard with non-linear site response gives accurate estimates of site hazard. To achieve this accuracy, several uncertainties in site-amplification calculations for hazard applications are important. In addition, the
