Abstract
A new evaluation of seismic hazard in the northwestern part of Saudi Arabia area has been carried out, for the minimization and mitigation of earthquake losses. The study area controlled by a number of major regional tectonic features including the Red Sea, Gulf of Suez, and Gulf of Aqaba—Dead Sea fault system and a larger number of recorded earthquakes. A probabilistic seismic hazard analysis is performed within a logic-tree framework. The analysis started with an exhaustive revision of the seismic catalogues of the area and vicinity from which a catalogue has been declustered and homogenized at moment magnitude,
