Abstract

Neo-Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis is an innovative method for seismic hazard analysis in India, based on realistic earthquake scenario. This paper shows a comparative study on methodology of neo-deterministic seismic hazard analysis over DSHA and PSHA. Deterministic seismic hazard analysis and Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis provides only peak ground acceleration, but Neo-deterministic seismic hazard analysis provides also other ground motion parameter like peak ground displacement and peak ground velocity that can play key role in developing seismic hazard maps. The objective of this research and use for seismic microzonation purposes were also discussed.
