Abstract
This paper provides the hazard parameter values from the approach of Gutenberg–Richter recurrence relationship. Considered the total 197 (1819–2016) years sample of earthquakes catalogue are taken to derive Gutenberg–Richter (GR) relationship, for Gujarat, Western India region. Declustering is the process of removal of dependent earthquake events (foreshocks and aftershocks) from an earthquake catalogue, and this was carried out by using a dynamic spatial–temporal windowing technique. These sequences include the declustering of the catalogue, and estimation of completeness periods for different magnitude classes is 3–4, 4–5, 5–6 and ≥6. First, different approaches for estimation of seismicity parameters have been studied and identified with respect to stable continental regions. Second, the importance of dependence of b value (slope of recurrence curve) on different magnitude intervals has been identified for catalogue data available for Western India (WI). Completeness analysis of the earthquake catalogue was performed by both the visual cumulative and Stepp’s methods [1, 2]. Fitted the frequency formula and estimated reliable Gutenberg–Richter (GR) parameters to quantify seismic hazard for Gujarat, WI region.
