Minimum magnitude boundaries in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis: an insight from structural engineering
Alireza Azarbakht
Abstract:In order to systematically advance our understanding of the minimum magnitude limit (Mmin) in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) calculations, a novel and useful approach utilising a broad range of Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) oscillators and hazard conditions is being developed and tested. We have determined the most reasonable Mmin value for a variety of structure groups by examining the impact of Mmin on the Mean Annual Frequency (MAF) of various limit states (including the collapse capacity). … Show more
