Description
Summary:The seismic hazard in the city of Patras, central Greece, is estimated using computations based on a slightly modified version of the method proposed by Cornell which allows the introduction of individual attenuation laws for each seismic source. The obtained results emphasize the dependence of hazard on attenuation and the importance of the use of local attenuation laws in seismic hazard assessment.
