Seismic Hazard Model Harmonization in Tienshan Area

Abstract

This paper provides a comparison between Central Asia, the Middle East hazard models and the Chinese hazard result in Tienshan Area, based on reshaped seismogenic sources, recalculated related seismicity parameters, and calibrated ground motion models. This paper concluded that in the most areas of Tienshan, the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) with 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years is around 0.2g~0.3g, and northern part of Pakistan has the highest seismic hazard in Tienshan Area.
