Evaluation of spatial variation of peak horizontal acceleration and spectral acceleration for south India: a probabilistic approach

Sitharam, T.; Vipin, K. - In: Natural Hazards 59 (2011) 2, pp. 639-653

In this work, an attempt has been made to evaluate the spatial variation of peak horizontal acceleration (PHA) and spectral acceleration (SA) values at rock level for south India based on the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA). These values were estimated by considering the...
