(Finished)

The main objective of the project is the assessment of seismic hazard in the Region of Murcia. The standard probabilistic,  zonified method is implemented. Seismicity is modeled as a poissonian process. Different models for seismogenetic sources (including active faults) and for ground motion prediction equations are used. A logic tree approach is used to combine and weight these different input options. Results are expressed by maps of maximum and spectral expected accelerations and by unifrom hazard spectra at relevant locations, all for a return period of 475 years. 

Results of the project will serve to define the seismic action considered in the regional seismic risk study which forms the basis of the Civil Defense emergency plan for earthquake risks (SISMIMUR).
