Seismic Hazard Analysis of Pakistan

Mahmood Sultan

The main objective of the study is to assess the seismic hazard of different areas of Pakistan in order to ensure earthquake safety of existing and new structures. Try to, describe the Seismicity of Pakistan, carry out Seismic Hazard Assessment of the region and compute Ground Motion of the geographical regions of Pakistan. I have used the PSHA approach of McGuire is adopted to compute the ground motion. Due to collision of Indian plat and Eurasian plate, active faults systems exist in Pakistan. Due to these fault systems, earthquake ground motion analyses are needed to review the Seismic Hazards of the region. For this purpose, GSHAP data is used to map Seismic Hazard of Pakistan. The Scheme of Study follows the Mapping of Seismo-tectonic from Earthquake Catalogue, Earthquake Source delineation Map, and Ground Motion Map from GSHAP data.
