Abstract
Summary
Probabilistic seismic micro-zoning of Almaty in ground accelerations was carried out with implementation of the continual approach proposed by A.S. Aleshin to account for site category effect on ground motion. The chosen approach made it possible to avoid recalculating accelerations into macro-seismic intensity and back, to avoid the traditional discrete representation of continuous parameters, and to proceed to a direct calculation of resulting accelerations on the base of seismic rigidity obtained with engineering-geological and instrumental geophysical surveys. The developed maps are at the stage of discussion and preparation for further introduction into the normative documents of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
