Seismic Hazard Assessment for Three States of the Mexican Pacific Coast (Oaxaca, Guerrero and Michoacan)
Abstract eng: Mexico is located in a high seismic activity region, where moderate to large earthquakes have happened in the past that have caused casualties and structural damage. Over the last decades, seismological and earthquake engineering research has been increased in México. Capital cities were the first sites where authorities and researchers developed seismic hazard studies. In this paper we considered the seismic hazard assessment for medium to small cities in three states of the Mexican pacific coast. We also present a method for producing new seismic design parameters (i.e. Uniform Hazard Spectra), using the Sheppard method, [14 and 7]; the method helped developing new seismic design parameters for every city affected by the Mexican Pacific zone, [8], and in this particular case produce new seismic parameters along the three states: Michoacán, Guerrero and Oaxaca.
