Seismic Hazard Assessment and Determination of Maximum Design Base Acceleration of Yazd

摘要: Article history: Received: Accepted: According to Iranian code of practice for seismic resistant design buildings standard No. 2800, Yazd is located in the place with medium earthquake hazard [1]. Due position many historical and important buildings, maintaining these traditional heritages an task civil engineering field. On account mentioned valuable region potential constructing new vital structures such as University, exact regional seismicity surveying assessment would need be scrutinized. For this purpose a collected catalogue, containing both instrumental events used covering period from 4th century BC 2009. Seismic sources are modeled recurrence relationship obtained. The method proposed by Kijko [2] Tavakoli [3] were employed determination parameters. Then logic tree weighted attenuation relationships applied. Probabilistic carried out using SEISRISK III University site. At end, Peak Ground Accelerations (PGA) studied area return 475 2475 years 10% 2% probability exceedance life cycle 50 evaluated equal 0.25g 0.35g.
