Resumo: | Due to the lack of information in the catalogue of historic earthquakes (1951-2010) and also of potential but unmapped faults in the field, the seismic zoning modeling for Ecuador does not define parameters of equivalent attenuations of the tectonic activity of the territory. The aim of this research is to provide new engineering techniques for seismic hazard evaluation. The technique of this study is based on the assumption that strong earthquakes are associated within structural nodes that are specific structures formed around intersections of fault zones. The nodes have been delineated with a morphostructural zoning method, based on the idea that the lithosphere is made-up of different-scaled blocks, separated by mobile boundaries. These blocks are represented on a morphostructural map, compiled with the GIS.
