SISMA: Workshop finale ASI, 4 maggio 2011 Synthetic seismograms Ground motion scenarios at local scale Detailed scenarios of ground motion, including site effects (2D sections describing the mechanical properties of the sites), are defined at the local scale for the alerted faults. Spectral amplifications 2D laterally heterogeneous local profile Local ground shaking scenario for the Gubbio site SISMA: Workshop finale ASI, 4 maggio 2011 Conclusions Although the seismic classification of the Italian territory has been recently revised, the evaluation of seismic hazard continue to be based on the traditional probabilistic approach, i.e. on the probabilistic analysis of earthquake catalogue and of ground motion information, retrieved by macroseismic observations and instrumental recordings, that may lead to severe underestimations of seismic hazard. Recently this approach showed its limitation in providing a reliable seismic hazard assessment, possibly due to the insufficient information about historical seismicity, which can introduce relevant errors in the purely statistical approach mainly based on the seismic history.
