Quantitative Seismic Zoning of the Circum Pannonian Region

The deterministic procedure for the definition of seismic input and seismic hazard over a large territory, developed at the University of Trieste, Dept. of Earth Sciences, in the framework of the activities of the Gruppo Nazionale per la Difesa dai Terremoti, is now being applied to several other countries. In particular, this poster shows the joint results for the countries participating in the EC INCO-COPERNICUS project on “Quantitative Seismic Zoning of the Circum-Pannonian Region”: Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Romania and Slovenia. Characteristic parameters of seismogenic zones and regional structural models have been assembled and synthetic seismograms have been computed for a dense grid of sites covering the whole territory. Particular attention has been paid, in order to obtain a homogeneous definition of the input data across political boundaries. This is a crucial point in order to produce coherent seismic hazard maps for large regions with many countries. Results are shown in terms of maximum displacements, velocities and Design Ground Acceleration.
