  3. Seismic hazard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_hazard

    A seismic hazard is the probability that an earthquake will occur in a given geographic area, within a given window of time, and with ground motion intensity exceeding a given threshold. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] With a hazard thus estimated, risk can be assessed and included in such areas as building codes for standard buildings, designing larger buildings ...

  4. Seismic code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_code

    The 1940 seismic code was developed in response to the 1939 Erzincan earthquake which killed 32,000 people. It drew parallels with Italy's seismic codes at the time. A seismic zonation map was also developed in 1942 which assessed the seismic hazard of all Turkish provinces on three levels; "hazardous", "less hazardous" and "no hazard".

  5. Seismic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_analysis

    Seismic analysis is a subset of structural analysis and is the calculation of the response of a building (or nonbuilding) structure to earthquakes. It is part of the process of structural design , earthquake engineering or structural assessment and retrofit (see structural engineering ) in regions where earthquakes are prevalent.

  6. Peak ground acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_ground_acceleration

    It is often used within earthquake engineering (including seismic building codes) and it is commonly plotted on seismic hazard maps. [6] In an earthquake, damage to buildings and infrastructure is related more closely to ground motion, of which PGA is a measure, rather than the magnitude of the earthquake itself.

    The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) is the agency of the government of the U.S. state of Oregon responsible for collecting, maintaining and disseminating geologic information, and regulation of industries which commercially develop the state's geological resources, including Natural gas, Crude oil, and other Mineral exploration and Mining.

  9. Seismic zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_zone

    A type of seismic zone is a Wadati–Benioff zone which corresponds with the down-going slab in a subduction zone. [2] The world's greatest seismic belt, known as the Circum-Pacific seismic belt, [3] is where a majority of the Earth's quakes occur. Approximately 81% of major earthquakes occur along this belt.
