Seismic Hazard Estimates for the Euro-Mediterranean

The EU-FP7 project Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE) aims to provide an updated state-of-the art time-independent seismic hazard model envisioned to serve as a reference model for the revision of the EC8 building code revision. We present in short the main ingredients of the hazard model and how uncertainties are treated within the logic tree of source models and ground motion prediction equations. The hazard model is evaluated within a pan-European feedback process and the final model will be presented by the end of the year 2012.
