About this ebook

Seismic hazard analysis plays a vital role in evaluating the potential earthquake risk in a given region. Northeast India is one of the most seismically active zones due to its tectonic positioning at the collision boundary of the Indian and Eurasian plates. This study aims to implement a comprehensive Seismic Hazard Assessment (SHA) framework using Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques to improve the accuracy and reliability of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) estimates in Northeast India. The methodology integrates Trapezoidal Fuzzy Full Consistency Method (TrF-FUCOM) and Neutrosophic-TOPSIS under Single Valued Neutrosophic Set (SVNS) environment (Neutrosophic-TOPSIS), effectively addressing the limitations of traditional seismic hazard assessment methods, particularly in selecting and weighting Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs). An extensive earthquake catalogue covering the period from 1762 to 2024 has been analysed, and after declustering, fault zones have been delineated based on earthquake density along active faults. The analysis provides a detailed spatial distribution of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) across the region, with the highest PGA value reaching 1.43g using the Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment (DSHA) method. The findings of this study offer crucial insights for disaster preparedness, urban planning, and the design of earthquake-resistant infrastructure, helping to mitigate seismic risks and enhance the resilience of communities in Northeast India.
