ASSESSMENT OF SEISMIC RISK FOR MUSEUM ARTIFACTS
The protection of several types of museum collections against seismic hazard is increasingly gaining the interest of scientists and governments, as their damage is in many cases irreparable. Special programs of earthquake preparedness are conducted in order to mitigate the expected hazard, especially for earthquake prone countries,such as the countries of eastern Mediterranean. In this study several types of art object failures caused by earthquakes are presented and risk mitigation methods are described. The magnitudes of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) that can cause failure are determined for a sample of representative artifacts applying suitable criteria. Several earthquakes are considered to determine the distance from the causative fault at which failure is expected using appropriate attenuation relationships and theoretical models for both near- and far-fault regions.
