| Description |
A straightforward procedure of estimating maximum values of seismic peak
ground acceleration and quantiles of its probabilistic distribution on a future time interval
of 100 years is applied to territory of India. The input information for the method is
seismic catalog and regression relation between peak ground acceleration at a given point
and magnitude and distance from the considered site to hypocenter (seismic effect attenuation
law). The method is based on Bayesian approach, which simply allows account the
influence of uncertainties of seismic acceleration values. The main assumptions for the
method are Poissonian character of seismic events flow, a frequency-magnitude law of
Gutenberg–Richter’s type with cutoff maximal value for estimated parameter and a seismic
catalog, having a rather big number of events. The results obtained in this study show high
hazard values in terms of peak ground acceleration in northeast India, Himalayan belt,
Andaman region and Kachhach region.
