Abstract In this study we examine an applicability of updated SEEH procedure for seismic hazard assessment in Israel. This study is also partially concerned to question whether the NGA models can be applied for Israel region. Background and objective of study A lack of ground motion records from large magnitude near-source records in Israel region makes it difficult to develop robust ground motion prediction equations for seismic hazard analysis based on local data alone. Therefore an alternative approaches for ground motion predictions could be taken in PSHA in Israel. The Stochastic Evaluation of Earthquake Hazard (SEEH) procedure is widely used for seismic hazard assessment in Israel. Recently, SEEH procedure was upgraded applying a new code with option for near-fault ground motion simulation from twodimensional seismic source. The updating of SEEH procedure was based on using of two-dimensional source model of Motazedian and Atkinson (2005 a, b) instead of point source model. Though, the lack of data from large regional events makes it difficult to calibrate the parametric model describing regional ground motion, the parametric model of seismic and source parameters for SEEH procedure was modificated (Meirova et al, 2011). In 2008 the NGA (Next Generation Attenuation) models for ground predictions based on the Euro-Mediterranean database were developed. As it was shown in analysis (Scherbaum et. al., 2004) these models can be applied for most engineering applications within Europe. The NGA approach of Campbell and Bozorgnia (2008) was recently implemented for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in Israel. New regional maps of the seismic hazard in terms of rock spectra s 1 and s2 and PGA values was computed by using the Campbell and Bozorgnia (2008) relation by Klar et al, (2011). In this study we examine an applicability of updated SEEH procedure for seismic hazard assessment in Israel. This study is also partially concerned to question whether the NGA models can be applied for Israel region. A basic problem in the comparison between the hazard estimates provided by different techniques is that the input parameters of seismicity, seismic sources and attenuation models are inherently different and uncertain. This is especially true for the regions where past earthquakes are scarce. Therefore, we start our study from a comparison of predicted ground motion by some foreign attenuation models to Israel data in terms of 5% damped spectral acceleration. Figures in the second paragraph show a comparison of spectral acceleration obtained from measurements and empirical ground motion model of Campbell and

5 2 Bozorgnia (2008). In the third paragraph we show the comparison of predictions made by Atkinson and Motazedian (2008) approach and observed ground motion. In the next paragraph we compare predictions by updated SEEH procedure and observed ground motions. 1. Comparison of 5% damped spectral acceleration obtained from measurements and empirical ground motion model of Campbell and Bozorgnia (2008). Figures below show a comparison between the spectral accelerations based on observed horizontal motion and predicted one by the NGA model of Campbell and Bozorgnia (2008). The comparison is performed for the records from two regional moderate earthquakes occurred in 2004 in the Dead Sea area. Red and green lines represent 5% damped linear elastic response spectra for two horizontal components obtained from records at various Israeli accelerographs and broad band seismic stations. Three black lines represent estimates of spectral acceleration from Campbell and Bozorgnia, NGA, (2008) relationship for rock sites with ± sigma (sigma here is a total standard deviation; see Campbell and Bozorgnia, 2008). Some important ground motion parameters were estimated at each site. In the text geographical coordinates for each site of record in terms of latitude and longitude is indicated consequently as lat and lon.

35 32 Discussion and conclusion In seismic hazard analysis it is important to construct a proper model used for predicting the expected ground motion distribution for a possible earthquake scenario. The model should take into account the mechanisms and characteristics of the sources, the wave propagation paths, and the site conditions. The identification of the best model for prediction and judging the applicability of model to a particular region depends on goodness-of-fit of a given model to measured ground motion. In this work we've done the analysis of some predictable models (Campbell and Bozorgnia (2008); Motazedian and Atkinson (2005 a, b) and SEEH procedure with upgraded code) based on comparison of the theoretical models with measured ground motion acceleration recorded from two moderate regional earthquakes. It was found that the analyzed approaches show good fit to Israel data for hard rock sites and can provide good predictions of the local ground motion from moderate regional earthquakes. Overall, the results of this study indicate that NGA attenuation model of Campbell and Bozorgnia (2008) and Motazedian and Atkinson (2005 a, b) can be used for PSHA for hard rock sites. The applicability of chosen predictable models for site conditions considering generic site classes, which are generally based on geological criteria haven't been checked in framework of this project. The predicted ground motions have been calculated for hard rock sites (with Vs30 > 760 m/s) only. It should be taken in account that in order to calibrate the model of seismic parameters used for predictions by SEEH procedure the data from two regional moderate earthquakes were selected only. With the increasing of the regional strong-motion data in the near future the parametric model using for predictions can be improved. The analysis shows that for some regional sites the site conditions have significant effect on ground motion and must be taken into account. The SEEH procedure with option to take in account a site response can be used as for hard rock sites as for the sites with obvious site effect. Reference Campbell, K.
