RMS Version 22: Enhanced China Earthquake Risk Assessment Model

Enhanced Risk Assessment with the Updated China Earthquake Model: RMS Version 22 Release

The upcoming RMS RiskLink version 22, scheduled for release by the of June 2022, introduces a significant upgrade to its China Earthquake Model. This update ensures comprehensive seismic risk assessment through enhancements across various model components.

Improved Damage Modeling and Comprehensive Representation

The updated model now accounts for damage due to ground shaking as well as ground deformation associated with liquefaction and landslides. It features new stochastic event sets that capture the latest earthquake processes in China, integrating fault-specific data alongside crustal strn rate information to define seismic activity patterns. This multi-faceted approach ensures a more accurate prediction of potential seismic impacts.

Cutting-edge Scientific Methods and Datasets

Rigorous methodologies and datasets have been incorporated into the model development process. These include:

• Ground Motion Footprints: Updated based on recent scientific insights and observations from events such as the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, enhancing predictive accuracy for ground motion intensity.

• Geotechnical Data Reevaluation: Improved to reflect current construction practices and lessons learned from past disasters. This allows for a more precise quantification of factors like amplification effects, liquefaction risks, and landslide susceptibilities.

Foregrounding Risk Analysis

The updated China Earthquake Model represents the most contemporary datasets and advanced scientific techniques in seismic risk analysis. It bridge gaps between risk experts and earthquake science communities by sharing insights through publications and conference engagements.

RMS has mntned a commitment to meticulous documentation post-release, exploring innovations and utilized datasets that contribute to this model's enhanced capabilities. This comprehensive approach ensures stakeholders have the most informed view on managing risks associated with seismic events in China.
