About this document
Seismicity Analysis of Bangladesh by Patrick Canceran is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses applying the Gutenberg-Richter recurrence law to analyze seismicity in Bangladesh. It summarizes earthquake data available for Bangladesh from 1973-2013 from the USGS database. It calculates b-values for Bangladesh as a whole as well as two near-fault regions, Sylhet and Chittagong, to determine if a single b-value can be used for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis across the country. The analysis finds the earthquake catalog for Bangladesh to be incomplete, especially for smaller
