✦ Synopsis

Seismic hazard curves and scenario earthquakes based on probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) are evaluated for a site in Korea. Moreover, dominant seismic sources for the site are identified from the contribution factors of the seismic sources. Furthermore, the seismic hazard curves for eight sites in Korea are evaluated to grasp the regional difference of the seismic hazard, and the more detailed information on seismic hazard for Korean sites is obtained.
