Overall Aim and Objectives

The overall aim and specific objective of the proposed project is to produce maps and charts that will provide the necessary seismological data for the implementation of building codes and regulations in Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian National Authority. In order to achieve this overall aim we shall conduct studies and surveys to obtain:
  1. A unified catalogue of earthquakes.
  2. Update regionalization of seismogenic zones and assessment of their seismic capabilities.
  3. Scaling laws of dynamic source parameters of local and regional earthquakes and attenuation of seismic energy across the region.
  4. Implement state of the art procedures for earthquake hazard assessments and testing new approaches (e.g., a modification of the SEEH ( SvE ) method).
  5. Seismo-engineering characterization of buildings common in the region.
