the national seismic hazard maps for the UK. This is to take account of advances in seismic hazard methodology since the last seismic hazard maps were developed by Musson and Sargeant (2007) and present the results in a format that will be compatible with the future Eurocode 8 revisions.

Abstract. We present updated seismic hazard maps for the United Kingdom (UK) intended for use with the National Annex for the revised edition of Eurocode 8. The last national maps for the UK were produced by Musson and Sargeant (Eurocode 8 seismic hazard zoning maps for the UK.
Mar 9, 2022 · Earthquake hazard map showing peak ground accelerations having a 2 percent probability of being exceeded in 50 years, for a firm rock site. The map is based on the USGS models for the conterminous U.S. (2023), Hawaii (2021), and Alaska (2023).
May 26, 2021 · The national hazard maps cover the region between 49°N - 61°N and 8.5°W - 2°E and show peak ground acceleration and spectral acceleration at 0.2 s and 1.0 s for 5% damping on rock site conditions and for return periods of 95, 475, 1100 and 2475 years.
Mar 9, 2022 · What are the USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps? The National Seismic Hazard Maps (NSHM) (and the hazard model from which they are derived) are first and foremost a suite of products aimed at improving earthquake-resilient construction in the United States.
Nov 30, 2020 · A recently published report presents new national seismic hazard maps for the UK that have been developed to update the advice given to engineers about designing structures for earthquake resistance.

This set of maps shows the shaking with a 2% Probability of being exceeded in 50 years. This shaking is higher than in the 10% PoE map but is less likely to occur. These hazard maps show only one of many possible comparisons and do not illustrate the range of results. Example values for Vs30=250m/s.
