Abstract:Earthquakes occur in Britain and faults move, yet traditionally little consideration has been given to active faulting in UK seismic hazard assessment. Increasingly, digital micro-seismic data and geological neotectonic investigations are beginning to identify active faults. Hence, procedures have been developed for incorporating specific faults within calculations of the probability of exceedance of ground motion and ground rupture. Using these procedures, scoping calculations are presented which illuminate t… Show more
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.
