SEISMIC MAP FOR THE STATE OF KUWAIT

This paper presents the seismic hazard assessment for the State of Kuwait. In the present study, historical and instrumental seismicity data in the Kuwait area and its vicinity are compiled to form the base earthquake catalogue covering the period from 860 to 2000. Seismic zones characterization was performed assuming an exponential model for magnitude distribution and a Poisson time occurrence model. Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis employed herein is based on Cornell's methodology.
