Mapping of seismic amplification in the Czech Republic

Mapping of seismic amplification in the Czech Republic

The proposed expansion of nuclear power sites in the basin regions of the Czech Republic highlights the significance of local seismic amplification as a detrimental factor for seismic hazard. This research project aims to enhance the level of related knowledge for the territory of the CR. The planned approach consists of: 
1) Empirically determining seismic response at various sites with contrasting geological structures. 
2) Combining the results with geological structure information and previous studies into a regional scale model. This model will help guide site selection, revise building code documents, and serve as a basis for hazard calculation. 
3) Developing optimal methodologies for the determination of amplification and screening assessment of all external seismotectonic hazards.
