Abstract

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has many strong earthquakes and tectonic activities. In recent years, different probability seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) projects has been done around the area. This paper made a harmonized PSHA for this area. This paper concluded that in the most areas of northern CPEC, the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) with 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years is around 0.2g~0.3g, and northern Pakistan has the highest seismic hazard along the northern CPEC.
