This dataset presents where, why, and how much probabilistic ground motions have changed with the 2018 update of the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the conterminous U.S. (CONUS) vs. the 2014 NSHM. In the central and eastern U.S., hazard changes are the result of updated ground motion models (further broken down by median and epistemic uncertainty, aleatory variability, and site effects models) and gridded seismicity models. In the western U.S., hazard changes are the result of updated ground motion models in four urban areas with deep sedimentary basins and gridded seismicity models. Probabilistic ground motion changes (2% in 50 years probability of exceedance for a firm rock site, VS30 = 760 m/s, NEHRP...

We produce the USGS 2018 one-year probabilistic seismic hazard forecast for the central and eastern United States from induced and natural earthquakes. For consistency, the updated 2018 forecast is developed using the same probabilistic seismicity-based methodology as applied in the two previous forecasts for 2016 and 2017. Rates of earthquakes across the U.S. (M ≥ 3.0) grew rapidly between 2008 and 2015 but have steadily declined over the past three years, especially in areas of Oklahoma and southern Kansas where fluid injection has decreased. The seismicity pattern in 2017 was complex with earthquakes more spatially dispersed than in previous years. Some areas of west-central Oklahoma experienced increased activity...

For designing buildings and other structures, the 2020 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions and the 2022 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard provide Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) spectral response accelerations and Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean (MCEG) peak ground accelerations. The MCER ground motions are also expected to be in the 2023 ASCE/SEI 41 Standard and the 2024 and 2027 editions of the International Building Code. Both sets of ground motions are derived from USGS National Seismic Hazard Models via the gridded values of this data release.
