Regional evaluations of the seismic hazard

By seismic hazard at site we understand annual probability of experiencing each level of seismic motions at the site. Its determination is usually accompanied by the derivation of uniform hazard spectra.

Seismic hazard studies may be centred at a given site or span a certain region. Principia has gathered considerable experience in both types of studies.

Our engineering team is actively collaborating with seismically oriented institutions, such as IGN, CSN, OECD-NEA, IAEA, etc. Among many other activities, we collaborated in the preparation of the official seismic hazard map issued by the Spanish Ministry of Public Works in 2013.
