Abstract
In this paper, we overviewed a methodology for probabilistic fault displacement hazard analysis (PFDHA) proposed by Youngs in 2003 and we applied the method in Japan. While Youngs established the evaluation formula on the basis of the surface earthquake faults that appeared when the normal faults moved, we proposed the evaluation formula based on the surface earthquake faults generated by reverse and strike faults in Japan. As a result of model case analyses, the proposed evaluation formula gave a prospect for an applicability of the PFDHA in Japan and we described future tasks to be addressed.
