The paper is dedicated to the review of methods of seismic hazard analysis currently in use,
analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. The review is performed …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

Procedures are described for the representation of results in analyses that involve both
aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty, with aleatory uncertainty deriving from an …

Deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard assessment are frequently represented as
irreconcilably different approaches to the problem of calculating earthquake ground motions …

New predictive models for fault displacement and surface rupture hazard analysis
developed through the Fault Displacement Hazard Initiative (FDHI) research program …

Seismic hazard and risk are two very important concepts in engineering design and other
policy considerations. Although seismic hazard and risk have often been used …

Logic trees have become a popular tool in seismic hazard studies. Commonly, the models
corresponding to the end branches of the complete logic tree in a probabalistic seismic …

In the last 10 yr, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) revised its safety standards
for site evaluations of nuclear installations in response to emerging fault displacement …

A probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) has been conducted as part of the Safety
Case justification for a new-build nuclear power plant in the UK. The study followed a cost …
