Thesis Abstract
Abstract
**
This research focuses on seismic hazard assessment to inform infrastructure planning and design in earthquake-prone regions. Earthquakes pose significant risks to built environments, including buildings, bridges, and lifeline systems. Through the integration of geological, geophysical, and seismological data, this study aims to characterize seismic hazards, including ground shaking, surface rupture, and liquefaction potential. By applying probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard analysis techniques, the research provides insights into the likelihood and potential impacts of earthquakes on infrastructure. The findings contribute to the development of seismic-resistant design standards and risk-informed decision-making processes for infrastructure resilience.
