2 Background In 215-June National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE), supported by Tai-Power Company (to response the request of NTTF 2.1 Seismic Reevaluation), launched NUREG/CR 6372 researches (SSHAC), in understanding and documenting lessons learned from recent PSHAs conducted at the higher SSHAC Levels. (follow the experiences of research on Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power plant) 1

3 Content Introduction Selection of candidate GMPEs for PSHA Visualization technique for GMPE selection Selection of GMPE common form Visualization of model space Calculate GMPE weighting Conclusion 2

4 Introduction Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) Attenuation Hazard Curve 3

5 Introduction Selection of appropriate GMPEs for PSHA 1. Need best estimate of GMPE 2. Consider range of alternative models to characterize the uncertainty in the GMPEs Type of uncertainty in GMPEs 1. Aleatory uncertainty: expressing random variability of amplitude about a median prediction equation, can be handled in a PSHA by integrating over the distribution of ground-motion amplitude about the median, 2. Espistemic uncertainty: expressing uncertainty concerning the correct value of the median, can be handled by considering alternative GMPEs in a logic tree format (must capture uncertainties in form & amplitude), Sensitivity analysis of the proposed weights for GMPEs on the seismic hazard. 4

36 Conclusions 1. Method on the selection of GMPE for PSHA is introduced (The above mentioned method had been used in Diablo Canyon SSHAC Level-3 Report ). 2. The calculated weighting value depends not only on the mean between event residual or likelihood value, but also depend on the area of each cell or the way of mapping is partitioned. 3. The proposed method can generate the quantitative value on selecting and ranking of GMPE model and provides information for experts on the judgment of weighting factor in seismic hazard calculation 36
