Hawaii Hazard Maps 1998
This page contains probabilistic seismic hazard maps for Hawaii and accompanying documentation (draft version). Six maps are presented: peak ground acceleration (pga), 5-HZ spectral acceleration, and 1-HZ spectral acceleration (5% damping), each at 10%- and 2%-in-fifty-years probability of exceedance.

GRIDDED VALUES [Maps] [ Documentation] [ GIS maps, data, and metadata]
|
ASCII files of gridded points used to make maps - lon, lat, value (%g) (PE = probability of exceedance, PGA = peak ground acceleration, SA = spectral acceleration) |
|
| File sizes = approximately 4 Mb each | |
| PGA with 10% PE in 50 yrs | 0.3 sec SA with 10% PE in 50 yrs |
| PGA with 2% PE in 50 yrs | 0.3 sec SA with 2% PE in 50 yrs |
| 0.2 sec SA with 10% PE in 50 yrs | 1.0 sec SA with 10% PE in 50 yrs |
| 0.2 sec SA with 2% PE in 50 yrs | 1.0 sec SA with 2% PE in 50 yrs |
