2.1.1. WP 1: Improvement and Harmonization of the BSHAP Earthquake Catalogue 2.1.1.1 Major Accomplishments Two main accomplishments on the tasks related to tWP1 were achieved during the reporting period: Improvement and harmonization of BSHAP earthquake catalogue Updating the catalogue with 3.0 < M < 3.5 earthquakes from 1970 to today and with earthquakes occurred between 2010 and 2012. A. Compilation of data BSHAP-1 catalogue was compiled from national catalogues (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Montenegro, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia), regional and global catalogues (Karnik 1996; Shebalin & Leydecker; ISC; NEIC; CMT Harvard Catalog; RCMT, INGV, Roma; RCMT, ETHZ, Zurich and EMMA database, Version 2) containing data for 13342 earthquakes with magnitudes M 3.5. According to the agreement from the second workshop in Belgrade, the main WP-1 task was to update BSHAP-1 catalogue with 3.0 < M < 3.5 earthquakes from 1970 to today and M 3.0 earthquakes occurred between 2010 and 2012 using 15 km buffer zones around national borders. National catalogues from Albania with events until 2011 and catalogues from Montenegro, Serbia and Croatia until 2012, with magnitudes M 3.0 were submitted to the task leaders during the reporting period. As it was not possible to obtain Macedonian official catalogue for earthquakes from Macedonian referent institution (Macedonian Seismological Survey) the events for the period 2006-2013 (M 3.0) are taken from the official Greek Catalogue (Ref: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. (http://geophysics.geo.auth.gr/ss/station_index_en.html). Due to missing Bosnia and Herzegovina catalogue for 3.0 < M < 3.5 earthquakes after 1970, and M 3.0 earthquakes after 2010 all available data from Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian catalogues for BSHAP-2 earthquakes were compiled and the catalogue on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina was updated. After merging the national catalogues (Figure 1a), events with magnitude M < 2.4 and M 4.0 (1970 2012) were removed to minimize the possibility of creating duplicate events with data already in BSHAP-1. Duplicate events within 15 km buffer zones around the national borders were determined and compared with BSHAP-1 catalogue. We assigned corresponding country to the event with the use of MapInfo program and the geographical coordinates in its Europe. Tab file. Subject to the agreement that the sovereignty of states, in a manner that are internationally recognized, refers to the contents of catalogues and cannot be subject to overruling, we found 16 earthquakes between Albania and Montenegro to be checked, one earthquake between Serbia and Montenegro, and two duplicate events from Serbia and Montenegro for earthquakes in Macedonia. In the next step we compared merged national catalogues with BSHAP-1 catalogue to remove duplicate data previously resolved in BSHAP-1 catalogue. Final version of BSHAP-2 catalogue contains 19539 earthquakes with magnitudes M 3.5 in the period 510BC-1969 and M 3.0 in the period 1970-2012 (Figure 1b).

As it can be seen on the cumulative magnitude frequency distribution of mainshock events the BSHAP-2 catalogue may be considered complete for earthquakes with magnitudes M 4.0. The gap in magnitude distribution at approx. 3.5 < M < 4.0 can be seen in the noncumulative magnitude frequency distribution of earthquakes due to irregular spatial distribution of earthquakes with magnitude M < 4.0. B. Comparison with ISC-GEM and SHARE-GEM catalogues Comparison with ISC-GEM catalogue
We compared BSHAP-2 catalogue to the ISC-GEM catalogue for large events for any discrepancies. ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue (1900-2009) contains data with magnitudes M 5.5. All events from ISC-GEM catalogue were identified in BSHAP-2 catalogue (Figure 4 presents all data from ISC-GEM catalogue on the BSHAP project region compared to BSHAP-2 catalogue (map) with corresponding magnitude regression and basic statistics).
Green dots: ISC-GEM Red dots: BSHAP-2
Figure 4 - BSHAP-2 catalogue compared to the ISC-GEM catalogue for large events for any discrepancies
Maximum time difference between same earthquakes from both catalogues was 25 s, and maximum distance difference up to 35 km, with the exception of few earthquakes from south Italy and Greece. Magnitude correspondence is about 1 to1. Comparison with SHARE-GEM catalogue
BSHAP-2 catalogue was compared to SHARE European Earthquake Catalogue (SHEECver. 3.3). SHEEC catalogue contains 6609 earthquakes with magnitudes M 3.0 (373BC-2006) in the BSHAP project region. In the same region and in the same time period BSHAP-2 catalogue contains 17614 earthquakes (M 3.0) (Figure 5).

Figure 5 - BSHAP-2 catalogue compared to SHEECver3.3 catalogue: map with epicenters, time difference and distance difference between same events from both catalogues, magnitude distribution and magnitude regression between Mw (or Ml) from both catalogues
We determined 4052 events from both catalogues to be the same (criteria: T 60 s and D 50 km). Time difference and distance difference distribution can be seen on Figure 5. About 95% of earthquakes determined same had time difference between -0.6 and 0.6 seconds, and distance difference up to 20 km. The correspondence between the magnitudes is close to 1 to 1 relationship, with magnitude regression showing that BSHAP-2 moment magnitudes are slightly underestimated compared to SHEEC magnitudes for same events (87% of same earthquakes from BSHAP-2 and SHEEC catalogue have magnitude difference -0.5M0.5). 2.1.1.2 Milestones for the next six months In the next six months of the project following tasks shall be completed for WP1:

C. Preparatory activities for digitising and processing of SM records Since a respectable portion of the data base consists of analog records (predominantly from the period 1973 1990), the necessarity of re-digitising of the records is identified, mostly due to 3 main reasons: For the majority of the analog records there is no row data (v1 format). In the archives are only v2 and v3 format of the processed data; For the records that are already been digitised and v1 format data is available, the quiality of the digitising should be improved; and, The archive of analog records contains data of the quite important regional earthquakes. Some of them results with considerable material and human losses.
In that regard, in the frame of the project were disscussed posibilities for re-digitising of the available analog records. As one of the option disscused was the colaboration between PEER and BSHAP-2 in the domain of digitising and prosessing of the available strong motion records. Potential benefits of this colaboration will be: Digitising of the old analog records and improving the digitising quality of already digitised ones; Processing of the strong motion records with the state-of-the-art processing metoologies and softwares; Transfer of knowledge and training of young recearchs from the region on the strong motion records processing; Establishing of active scientific colaboration and exchange of knoledge.
The discussion on the possible colaboration PEER-BSHAP-2 was made during the 3rd Project Workshop in Zagreb, Croatia (28-29.11.2013) with Prof. Yousef Bozognia. In the following period will be dissussed terms of the colaboration and preparation of the Draft Agreement PEER-BSHAP-2. D. Preparatory activities for strong motion web data base design In the frame of preparatory activities were disscused concepts of the data base structure, web application/s and hardwere selection (for web server). 2.1.1.2 Milestones for the next six months In the next six months the following tasks shall be completed: 1. Decision on collaboration for digitising and processing of SM records with PEER. Terms of collaboration to be defined. Draft version of Agreement BSHAP-2 PEER to be prepared. 2. Draft flatfile which includes metadata to be improved and finalised. Report on statistics on available data to be prepared. 3. Identification of primary set of data for processing (to be identified earthquakes/data of the primary interest). 4. Catalogisation of row data and sending to PEER. 5. PEER training on SM processing. 6. Performance of candidate GMPEs for large magnitude events to be checked.

2.1.3. WP 3: Seismic Source Characterization and GIS Implementation
2.1.3.1. Major Accomplishments Ahead of start of activities in WP 3: Seismic Source Characterization and GIS Implementation, detailed plan of actions was prepared. Durring the Zagreb Meeting 28-29 October 2013, these activities were presented and discussed. Inventory of previous products that refers to this WP-3 was presented and discussed. In particular: o o Regional GIS of seismic active faults (Fig. 6), as well as all original inputs from partners; and, Seismotectonic model prepared as input for elliptical seismicity smoothing procedure (Fig. 8).
Figure 6 - Fault traces in BSHAP region, integrated GIS layer
The activities in WP-3 will start with the thorough investigation of presented fault traces in particular paying attention to continuity and characteristics of faults intersecting national borders.

Figure 7 Example: Initial Partner contribution differed in presentation type
The common method to present data will be uniquely adopted and person nominated to create finally verified product in GIS. All faults will be assigned named/numbered and effort to create data base consisting fault related major parameters and relevant references is of further interest. In parallel, existing European databases such are SHARE Project outputs, INGV and NOA databases on source zone characterization possessing data relevant to Balkan region will be examined.
Figure 8 - Seismotectonic model created in BSHAP as the input or PSHA
Page | 18
The sensitivity analysis of PSHA results will be performed: seismotectonic model will be altered in terms of number of seismogenic zones, Mmax etc. for a fixed earthquake catalogue input, to check out how particular parameters influence obtained PGA values. For this purpose, training course in OHAZ will be given to nominated METU young researcher. For the better analysis of particular seismic sources and specific faults database of existing focal plane solutions will be integrated from national data and assigned and compared in respect to recognized fault traces. For this purpose the presentation and instructions how to use FPS program developed by Prof M. Herak has been given, along with the example case of analysis of Seismicity, tectonic framework, and seismic moment release rate in the greater Banja Luka area.
Figure 9 - Focal plane solutions of earthquakes occurred in vicinity of fault (Prof M. Herak, Zagreb Workshop 2013)
According to new Grant Letter issued by NATO SfP Office additional funds to hire experts Slovenian Environmental Agency ARSO, were assigned to Montenegro budget. To start the collaboration Mr. Mladen Zivcic was invited to Zagreb Meeting to present the current status of seismic source characterization in Slovenia, best practices cases in this topic and possible contribution from ARSO to this package, and Project itself. 2.1.3.2. Milestones for the next six months WP-3 coordination activities will follow the milestones suggested during Zagreb Meeting. Intense activities to integrate new seismotectonic model of region and form the focal mechanism plane solution database (providing necessary data to WP-2, as well) will take place.

2.2. Actions to insure the implementation of results Country ALBANIA Actions to insure the implementation of results Collaboration with the national authorities (Ministry of Transport and Territory Planning, General Directorate of Civil Emergencies, etc.) to prepare the national documents requested for implementing of the EC8 in Albania, using the results and experience gained from BSHAP1 and BSHAP2 projects. After creation of new and improved earthquake catalogue another important objective was compiling the all available strong motion data (analog data, digitalization of analog recordings, digital data) and further development and expansion of accelerographic network on the area of Croatia. On the basis of established SM database new GMPEs will be derived. This will contribute to the improvement of the existing hazard maps in Croatian territory and to create a basis for the assessment of seismic risk which is the ultimate goal and one of the important mission of the National Protection and Rescue Directorate. As one of the main objectives of the project is harmonization with EU standards (i.e. Euro code 8) the collaboration with Macedonian Institute for Standardization (ISRM; http://www.isrm.gov.mk) is already established and the phase for adopting seismic hazard maps is initiated. So far, the former BSHAP project results have been already implemented within the Montenegro Coastal Area Management Programme. In addition, the findings of this project have been used in elaboration of Physical Plan for the Coastal Region of Montenegro currently under development (both under the auspicious of Ministry of Sustainable Development And Tourism). All the findings of current Improvement project will affect the undergoing activities on transposition of Euro codes into domestic legislations governed by the Engineering Chamber of Montenegro. Creating strong motion catalog of Serbian earthquaqes and processing of all aveable strong motion data. The possibility of collaboration between PEER and the project participants is a significant action to ensure the use of ground motion database in international earthquake engineering practice. Additionally, project participants were encouraged to publish the BSHAP earthquake catalogue in an international journal with a high impact factor.

Information about the SfP Project through Internet: The website of the project is prepared according to the NATO visual identity guidelines and launched on March, 2013. The web address for the website is http://www.wbalkanseismicmaps.org/. Abstract of Research The Western Balkans is a seismically active region and characterized by significantly higher earthquake hazard and risk when compared to the rest of Europe. The main goals to achieve are improvement in the initial harmonized seismic hazard maps of the participating countries by implementing state-of-the art probabilistic seismic hazard assessment techniques and the outputs of the BSHAP project, integration of improved seismic hazard maps with the ongoing seismic hazard studies in Europe and surrounding countries and collaboration and exchange of information between the participating country scientific communities and earthquake professionals around the world. To this end, the recently deployed seismic stations, seismic data exchange protocols, earthquake catalogue and hazard studies conducted by the BSHAP participants will be brought to a more enhanced level with the opportunities provided by the new project. The end users of the Project results will be governmental disaster management agencies, ministries of environment or agencies responsible for environmental protection and sustainable development in the Balkan region. The civil protection agencies as well as the insurance companies, in all of the participating countries, may benefit from these results by using it to estimate seismic risk at certain region/location. Consequently, they will introduce risk prevention, preparedness and mitigation measures. Direct users of Project results should be structural engineers, earthquake engineers, and physical planers in the whole region. Major Objectives Compiling and integrating the available strong ground motion data recorded by the improved seismic networks during BSHAP or previously occurred earthquakes using the outputs of earlier scientific projects. Improving the BSHAP earthquake catalogue by adding unified earthquake metadata such as magnitude, depth, and style-of-faulting information and site characterization of selected strong ground motion recording stations. Selecting and implementing proper ground motion prediction equations for the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment by comparing the compiled strong ground motion data with available global, European, Euro-Med, and regional ground motion prediction models. Encouraging the use of collected strong ground motion database for the end users and
Page | 38
international earthquake research communities by realizing improved multi-lateral data exchange protocols and publishing the major project findings in an open-to-public web portal. Collecting the available information on seismotectonical source characterization of faults and background zones in the Geological Information Systems (GIS) framework with the help of BHSAP and other scientific project outputs. Providing expertise to the participants for implementing the seismic source characterization as the input of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment framework. Improving the seismic hazard maps of the region using the project end products (seismotectonic and accelerometric database) and state-of-the art seismic hazard assessment methods. Establishing active scientific collaboration and exchange of information between the participating countries and scientific communities all around the world. Training of future-promising young scientists in earthquake-hazard related topics by conducting group meetings, workshops and training seminars.
Overview of Achievements since the Start of the Project until (30 September 2012) Three project workshops were realized (in Skopje, Belgrade and Zagreb). Special session on the project was organised during International Conference on Earthquake Engineering (50SE-EEE) in Skopje, Macedonia. BSHAP-1 catalogue was updated with 3.0 < M < 3.5 earthquakes from 1970 and earthquakes occurred between 2010 and 2012. Catalogue data were compiled and comparison between ISC-GEM and SHARE-GEM catalogues was accomplished. Refinement in the inventorisation of strong motion seismic networks and assembling of strong ground motion data set through creation of metadata integrated file was finalised. Preparatory activities for (digitising) and data processing as well as BSHAP-2 strong motion web data base design were initiated. Detailed plan of actions was prepared for the task related to the modelling of seismic source characteristics.
