A New Computation of Seismic Hazard for Mexico and Its Application in Seismic Optimal Design
Abstract eng: The recent advance in seismology and engineering has significantly contributed to the knowledge of seismic hazard in Mexico, especially in the next topics: The geometry of the Cocos Plate in its portion subducted beneath the continental plate of North America was improved. Better attenuation laws for intermediate depth earthquakes have been made due to great activity of this kind of earthquakes in the last few years. Some attenuation laws for crustal earthquakes that include data of a great number of recorded events in several places of USA, especially in California, have been accepted worldwide in the last years. These laws seem to be adequate for some earthquakes that occur in Mexico. The formulation to quantify the seismic hazard and their main results, corresponding to exceedance rates of peak ground acceleration and the ones of several structural periods, are shown is this work.
