Assignment 1 ERD 2021

1. The document provides instructions for students to perform a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for Kathmandu using 20 different ground motion attenuation relationships. 2. It describes 10 seismic source zones near Kathmandu characterized by their fault type, maximum magnitude, and distance from the study site. 3. Students are asked to calculate the mean annual exceedance rate for each source using the provided 'a' and 'b' values in the Gutenberg-Richter relationship and then divide by 16.

ASSIGNMENT # 1
Last date of submission : April 19, 2021 (Monday)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The center of Kathmandu City is located in the vicinity of ten independent seismic sources represented by source
zones 1 to 10. These source zones in reality are active faults, and they are characterized as given in Table 1 given
below. For simplicity, all the source zones are considered as point sources. Perform the Probabilistic Seismic
Hazard Analysis for the site using separately the following Attenuation Relationships: (Note: The mean annual
occurrence rate of earthquake of magnitude larger than the threshold magnitude ν calculated for each source using
the given a and b value shall be divided by 16).
