Hazard Assessment Theory

The hazard assessment app is designed to be simple to use but beneath the interface is a lot of complexity. It is important to be familiar with the underlying calculations and ensure that you are aware of the assumptions and limitations of the analysis. The calculations have been described in the linked pages below.

• M_UL
• Grid-based calculations
  • b-value
  • Event rate
  • ML rating
• Strong ground motion relationship
• Excavation hazard
