This document provides a nation-wide overview of seismic sources that
contribute to the 2001-2002 update of the USGS Probabilistic Seismic Hazard
Assessment (PSHA) (Frankel et al., 2002) in the form of deaggregated mean
and modal sources for the 2% in 50 year probability of exceedance (PE)
and the 10% in 50 year PE for sites in the conterminous USA. The primary
purpose of this document is to provide information to urban planners and
seismic-resistant design engineers about seismic sources that might sensibly
be considered when planning and designing. |
