Abstract
In the present study, seismic hazard maps for a region of Mexico using the ground motion intensity measure INp which is based on the spectral shape parameter named Np are developed. The motivation to use this ground motion intensity measure to compute the seismic hazard is because recently it has been demonstrated its potential to predict the structural response of buildings subjected to earthquakes. In fact, several studies suggest that intensity measures based on Np are more efficient for nonlinear structural prediction compared with other parameters of the literature. The results of this study are presented as seismic hazard maps and uniform hazard spectra with 2 and 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years. It is important to say that this is the first time that seismic hazard maps using the ground motion intensity measure INp are developed.
