Abstract
In this study the results of PSHA deaggregation for 5%-damped 0.2, 0.5, 2 and 4 s spectral accelerations, corresponding to Mean Return Periods (MRPs) of 50 and 475 yr for Karaj city was presented. The aim of this paper is to quantify the dominant events that have the most contribution on ground-motion exceedance from the above mentioned hazard levels. The scenario earthquakes are characterized by bins of Magnitude (M) and source-to-site distance (R). The results reveal that for Karaj city, the hazard is mainly controlled by near active fault.
