In this paper seismic hazard for the sourthern slope of the Greater Caucasus (Azerbaijan) was assessed by using five major parameters: moment magnitude, simulated peak ground acceleration (PGA) from four target earthquakes, intensity scenario, amplification factor and b value. The deterministic scen...
