In recent years, attempts have been made to identify and quantify uncertainties in seismic hazard estimations for regions with moderate seismicity. These uncertainties, for which no estimation standards exist, create major difficulties and can lead to different interpretations and divergent opinions among experts. To address this matter, an international research project was launched in January 2011, by an industrial consortium composed of French and Italian organizations. This program, named SIGMA (Seismic Ground Motion Assessment) lasted for five years and involved a large number of international institutions. This book is intended for instructors running courses on engineering seismology, graduate students in the same field and practicing engineers involved in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analyses.Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering,1573-6059 ;42Environmental sciencesNatural disastersGeophysicsComputer mathematicsEnvironmental Science and Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000Natural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Geophysics/Geodesyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009Computational Science and Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14026Environmental sciences.Natural disasters.Geophysics.Computer mathematics.Environmental Science and Engineering.Natural Hazards.Geophysics/Geodesy.Computational Science and Engineering.363.3495Pecker Alainauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut447811Faccioli Ezioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autGurpinar Aybarsauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMartin Christopheauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autRenault Philippeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254004803321An Overview of the SIGMA Research Project2524148UNINA
