By S.C. Harmsen, A. D. Frankel, and M. D. Petersen

U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 03-440

 

Version 1.0

 

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.
