    Notes: Abstract The cross-bordering earthquake hazard mapfor three Central European countries, the CzechRepublic, Poland and Slovakia (CZ-PL-SK) in thesense of the Global Seismic Hazard AssessmentProgram (GSHAP) was elaborated both in terms ofmacroseismic intensities and in terms of peak groundaccelerations (PGA). A new earthquake parametriccatalogue for CZ-PL-SK (Schenková et al., 1999)allows the source regions to be delineated withrespect to tectonic structures. Regions for Austriaand Germany were taken from the D-A-CH area withsome modifications in the border zone with the CzechRepublic and Poland. Regions of other surroundingcountries were defined with respect to nationalearthquake catalogues and geologico-geophysical dataof Central European countries. For each sourceregion earthquake data were normalised to obtain areliable annual recurrence graph and the maximumexpected earthquakes. Attenuation laws were definedto allow more advanced earthquake hazard maps to becalculated by the standard probabilistic McGuire's(1976) approach. The obtained GSHAP hazard maps forthe CZ-PL-SK area were calculated for the returnperiod of 475 years. Besides a comparison with thehazard values for the D-A-CH area (Grünthal etal., 1995, 1996; Grünthal, 1997), the map wasalso compared with the effective ground accelerationmap for Austria (Lenhardt, 1996) and in both cases avery good coincidence was found.

    Seismic hazard computations for regions with low earthquake activity — A case study for the Belgium, The Netherlands and NW Germany area (1989)

    Notes: Abstract The algorithms to evaluate seismic hazard, used and/or developed by five teams participating in the TERESA project, applied to the low seismicity area ‘Belgium, The Netherlands and NW Germany’ are compared. The main differences in the results can be explained by the majority criterion of Egozcue et al. (1989), the differences in the upper bound and zonification and, in some cases, by a higher attenuation.

    Categorisation and Harmonisation of Probabilistic Earthquake Hazard Assessments with Respect to Statistic Representation of Input Data (1997)
    Springer
    Natural hazards 15 (1997), S. 121-137

    ISSN: 1573-0840
    Keywords: probabilistic earthquake hazard ; categorisation and reliability of the calculations ; statistical input data estimates ; the Czech Republic

    Notes: Abstract Probabilistic hazard calculations were tested with respect to input data uncertainties. Statistical approximations of input data allow the regression coefficients and their standard deviations to be determined. Since inaccuracies of the regressions closely depend on the input data uncertainties, the standard deviations of the individual coefficients were used as a measure of input data parametrisation. Differences in the hazard outputs, caused only by various combinations of the regression coefficients and their standard deviations determined for the cumulative recurrence graph and the attenuation law, were studied. It was concluded that the hazard calculation conditions should be (a) strictly defined and always quoted with every hazard assessment, and (b) standardized in order to establish a common liability of earthquake hazard calculations. The established categorisation of the earthquake hazard assessments divides the probabilistic hazard calculations according to their reliability and helps users to apply them in earthquake engineering practice. The credible hazard assessments corresponding to 90% probability can be recommended for common structures whereas the maximum credible hazard assessments coinciding with 95% probability yield values close to hazard assessments of important structures, hospitals, bridges, etc.
