Abstract
Chennai is one of the metropolitan city of India with the highest population and the city of expeditious building evolution. For designing earthquake resistant structures and to help engineers for construction, it is obligatory to perform deterministic method, the procedure of this method are, the characterization and identification of sources, determination of distance between source and site, deciding the controlling earthquake and assessing of hazard constants such as peak ground acceleration and spectral acceleration. From the assessment made, it is observed that Fault 26 recorded the maximum magnitude potential. It is found using deterministic approach that Chennai has the potential seismic hazard with the “g” value of 0.011 g and spectral acceleration of 0.8 g, and this result was compared with the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment reported.
