Abstract

The modal summation method to compute synthetic seismograms is applied to carry out a study of seismic zonation in Albania. From a seismotectonic synthesis and the available earthquake data, eight seismogenic zones are defined and for each of them, a characteristic focal mechanism is selected. A new seismic velocity model is used in the computations and is constructed on the basis of previous studies. Correlation relations between the maximum intensity values observed and the ground motion parameters obtained from this procedure are derived. The distribution of the calculated values of displacement, velocity and acceleration, will contribute to the quality of anti-seismic design practice in Albania and to the mitigation of earthquake consequences.
