Selection of the appropriate methodology for the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis on the territory of the Republic of Serbia

Abstract

This paper presents a review of the approaches to the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis as well as discussion regarding the selection of the appropriate methodology of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Use of the deductive approach has been suggested, as well as that the new Serbian seismic hazard maps should be expressed through the values of the peak ground acceleration, having in mind that the new hazard maps for the Republic of Serbia should be compiled in compliance with the recommendations of the Eurocode 8.
