Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Earthquakes are a manifestation of the earth's geologic development. Their occurrence has been a topic of concern to man for thousands of years. This led to the development of earthquake engineering which seeks to define the expected hazard due to earthquakes and to control and reduce the consequences of these events to man's environment. These goals entail two central ideas, that of seismic hazard and seismic risk. In earthquake engineering these concepts are defined as follows: seismic hazard is the "expected occurrence of future seismic events", and seismic risk is the "expected consequence to future seismic events." This report deals with seismic hazard and the methods by which it is described.
