SEISMIC HAZARD MAPS FOR APPLICATION IN CIVIL DEFENSE
Abstract
The design of structures for earthquake resistance will be regulated in Slovenia from January 1, 2008 by the Slovenian standard EC8. Seismic hazard will be determined on a map of peak ground acceleration on type A ground for a return period of 475 years, which is already used as a supplement to the Slovenian prestandard EC8. The same map, or a simplified form, together with an appropriate description, can also in principle be applied for use in civil defense. The treatment of seismic hazard in Slovenia would thus be simply and identically solved for earthquake resistance design, as well as for civil defense needs. However, since the macroseismic map can also be understood as a seismic risk map, it is preferred to the acceleration map in civil defense applications. It can be used together with the description of the European Macroseismic Scale 1998, prepared by the European Seismological Commission. For comprehensible and effective broader use, it would be wise to simplify the macroseismic map and the written description of the scale.
