Seismic hazard analysis in Taiwan Region - Uncertainty analysis

ABSTRACT

The objetives of this paper are (1) to evaluate the seismic hazard in the taiwan Region, and (2) to obtain estimates on the effect on uncertainities of the hazard model. Uncertainty abalysis of model parameters in hazard analysis are concentrated on the analysis is dispersion of PGA and the probabilistic modeling of stationary and nonstationary Poisson model of occurrences. The estimation of b- value in the region is also presented in terms of an iso - acceleration map. The overall results are considered to be conservative since for most uncertainty analysis results the more conservative values are used (AU)
