Seismic Hazard Assessment

Course content

A brief of probability concepts, and epistemic and aleatory uncertainties. Deterministic vs. probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. Source characterization and attenuation relationships. Hazard computer code: deaggregation of hazard. Development of design spectra: equal hazard spectra, directivity and basin effects. Design of time histories: scaling vs. spectrum compatibility. Numerical simulation methods for time histories.
