📋 Tender Overview
At the Office of Seismology we have prepared a new Earthquake Hazard Map of Slovenia which shows the acceleration of the earth during earthquakes. Following the completion of the procedure for amending the legislation on earthquake-resistant construction the map will replace the current official map which must be observed by designers.Seismic hazard is calculated for solid soils by probabilistic assessment of seismic sources taking into account the expected life of ordinary structures.The project ground acceleration map is complemented by spectral acceleration maps for 10 oscillating times to capture all possible eigenfrequencies of buildings according to their properties e.g. height.Based on the new seismic hazard assessment of Slovenia the builders will consider the need to change the parameters of the National Supplement to the Eurocode 8 standard which specify the design.Then the new ground acceleration map will replace the current seismic hazard map for mandatory design use.
