- Abstract
- This layer shows the seismic zones in Armenia. The Seismic Zonation Map of the Territory of the Republic of Armenia at the scale of 1:500,000 was prepared by the Consortium of AIR Worldwide Corporation (USA), GEM Foundation (Italy) and GEORISK Scientific Research CJSC (Armenia) under the Project # 7179350 “Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment for the Republic of Armenia” supported by the World Bank. The area of the RA is divided into 3 zones in the ascending intensity order (I, II and III ) with expected PGA values expressed in fractions of g (gravity) 0.3g, 0.4g, and 0.5g, respectively. Refer to the Features section in the metadata for copyright information.

- Supplemental Information
- The Seismic Zonation Map of the Territory of Armenia was prepared based on the 1:500,000 probabilistic seismic hazard map for 475 year return period for given intensity earthquakes, corresponding to a 10% probability of PGA exceedance rate in 50 years. For large cities, computation results for the 10% of PGA exceedance probability in 75 years for the given intensity earthquake return period of 712 years were studied and considered additionally
