Earthquake catalogues. Gutenberg-Richter relation, estimation of the catalogue completeness. Functions of attenuation of intensity, PGA, PGV, PGD. Dynamic factor of amplification (DAF), amplification spectra for vertically incident SH-waves. Seismic hazard and risk.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
The course on Engineering seismology enable students to:
- Describe the typical contents of earthquake catalogues.
- Define and discuss the Gutenberg-Richter relation, and to estimate its parameters, given an earthquake catalogue.
- To estimate the catalogue completeness with respect to the smallest magnitude and/or the time interval.
- Define properties of the Poissonian process.
- Describe main factors influencing recorded strong motion at some location.
- Compute amplification spectra for given geotechnical models of soil layers.
- Differentiate between properties of soil based on the corresponding amplification spectra.
- Differentiate between the deterministic and probabilistic approach to hazard determination.
- Argue for the properties of seismic hazard as described by a given hazard map.
