Seismic risk assessment at regional scale requires hazard estimates accounting for seismostratigraphical amplification effects. When detailed data related to the local subsoil configuration are lacking, these effects can be inferred from numerical simulations fed with information available on at regional scale. A key aspect concerns the implementation of these outcomes including relevant uncertainty into probabilistic seismic...

We present the results of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for Iran based on a statistical procedure specifically developed to manage macroseismic intensity data. This method takes into careful consideration the specific features of such data, which are characterized as ordinal, discrete, and confined within a finite interval, ensuring a logically coherent approach throughout the analysis. The results of our assessment...
