Abstract

The following basic elements of modern probabilistic seismic hazard had been assessed to find the seismic hazard in Abu Serga church; the compilation of a uniform database and catalogue of seismicity for the historical (pre-1900), and instrumental periods (1900-today) in and around Abu Serga church. The creation of a master seismic source model to describe the spatial-temporal distribution of earthquakes, integrating the earthquake history with evidence from seismotectonic, paleoseismology, mapping of active faults. The evaluation of ground shaking as a function of earthquake size and distance, taking into account propagation effects in different tectonic and structural environments. The computation of the probability of occurrence of ground shaking in a given time period to produce maps of seismic hazard and related uncertainties at appropriate scales.


Keywords: Abu Serga church, Ground Motion, Seismic Hazards, Seismotectonics, Survey.
