 Seismic Hazard Parameters for Major Cities of Pakistan (BCP-2021)

The Building Code of Pakistan (BCP-2021) incorporates the results of an updated probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) of the country. This PSHA is conducted using sate-
of-the-art methodologies and up-to-date data sources. It employs an improved seismic source model and considers the contributions of several major crustal faults in the country.
Several improved ground motion prediction equations are used in a logic tree framework to account for uncertainties. The maps below shows the short-period (Ss) and long-period
(S1) spectral acceleration values for a return period of 2475 years obtained as a result of this improved PSHA. These values are not modified for the target risk (1% probability of
collapse in 50 years) according to the hazard definition of ASCE 7-16 (and IBC-2021). The presented hazard maps and hazard parameters are recommended to be used with the
BCP-2021 (IBC-2021 and ASCE 7-16) seismic design procedures. 
The following team has participated in the updated PSHA at different stages.

Team Leaders: Dr. Muhammad Asif Khan & Prof. Dr. Qaiser Ali

Members: Dr. Muhammad Waseem, Dr. Muhammad Ali Shah, Dr. Shahid Ullah, Dr. Saeed Zaman, Dr. Fawad Ahmed Najam, Dr. Irshad Ahmad, Adnan Alam Awan, Dr. Zahid Rafi,
Dr. Talat Iqbal, Dr. Muhammad Javed, Syed Kazim Mehdi, Zulfiqar Moin, Muhammad Imran.
