Action 5.2.2 : Develop nocivity filtering methodology

Technical Issue

Focus PSHA on significant events, exclude non damaging earthquakes for risk assessment (PRA)

Proposed Approach

Develop a nocivity filtering methodology that could be used as an alternative to Mmin in the hazard integral

Theoretical development based on GMPE and correlation coefficients, and implementation in PSHA (hazard integral)
Define pertinent nocivity parameter (CAV or other) and thresholds for filtering, might depend on type of structure

Deliverable

Nocivity filtering methodology (report)
