Abstract. The occurrence of any seismic activity can impact the robustness of the structure as well as the human lives, the Egyptian code of practice of seismic loads is mainly concerned about maintaining the safety and the structural integrity of the structures. In this study an estimation of the strength reduction factor of the different seismic zones in Egypt is to be implemented. Moreover, the probabilistic seismic hazard map of Egypt is also evaluated to test the soundness of the currently used seismic zones map in Egypt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
