Abstract

Seismic hazard of the territory of Slovenia is estimated using a deterministic approach based on the computation of complete synthetic seismograms. The input data are the catalogues of earthquakes and fault plane solutions for Slovenia and surrounding regions. Structural models are defined based on available seismological and geophysical information, but are mainly constrained by surface-wave dispersion and 3-D tomographic modelling of the upper crust. Seismogenic zones are delineated considering geotectonic characteristics, fault plane solutions and distribution of earthquake hypocentres. Outside Slovenia seismogenic zones are extended up to distances from which they can considerably influence seismic hazard estimates.
