Uncertainties on seismic hazard assessment for Bogotá – Colombia

Abstract

This paper presents four probabilistic assessments for Seismic hazard in Bogotá. In such assessments there are notorious uncertainties related to statistical data analysis and attenuation equations use. Additionally an estimation of expected magnitudes was done according to geometrical characteristics of seismic faults in and around the city. It is necessary to do significant efforts to carry out field works in order to assess previous seismic events, their magnitude and occurrence time
