Peak Ground Acceleration Functions of Mean Return Period for Known Reliability Index of Hellenic Design Earthquakes
In order to design a structure according to Eurocode EN 1990, a uniform “reliability index” must be defined for all design parameters (strengths, loadings, etc.) that present an “uncertainty.” However, Design Earthquakes constitute exception of the above parameters; thus, the present article covers this gap. For various values of reliability index and using an ideal, fictitious, Standard Normal Probability Density Function, new Peak Ground Acceleration functions of the mean return period of the design earthquakes are proposed. As a pilot scheme, we chose the 82 most important seismic records of the last 40 years for the seismic area of Greece.
