Main Article Content
Abstract
This work reviews the published seismic hazard assessments available for Georgia as well as the seismic loads included in the building code in order to show the state-of-the-art of the seismic hazard assessment studies for the country. The review includes the history and development of seismic hazard assessments and the adoption of seismic building codes in Georgia. All the previous studies were analyzed in order to conclude that a new seismic hazard assessment according to the state-of-the-art is desirable, as well as a change in the hazard description for the actual Georgian building code.
