PROBABILISTIC MODELING OF EARTHQUAKE HAZARD IN STABLE CONTINENTAL SHIELD OF THE INDIAN PENINSULA (2006)

This paper presents the probabilistic assessment of seismic hazard associated with the stable continental shield of peninsular India (10°N-26°N; 68°E-90°E) in terms of peak ground accelerations for different levels of ground shaking. The paper discusses the procedure for evaluating the probabilistic seismic hazard using a knowledge-tree approach. Attenuation relationships proposed for peninsular India and those proposed for the other stable continental regions such as Central and Eastern United States have been used in this study. The results show that for many parts of peninsular India, the estimated seismic hazard is higher than the level specified in the current seismic zoning map given in IS 1893-2002.
