Abstract
An attempt was made in this paper to present an upgrade of the seismic microzonation of a part of the Tirana City. Some results of the previous, complete study performed in the late 80-s were used in this paper. The new aspect of this study is related to the probabilistic assessment of the ground motion parameters. Using gridded seismicity methodology, the PGA and the uniform response spectrum at the base rock corresponding to the 475-years return period were estimated. Based on them, five acceleration time histories are selected, which are later used to assess the response of the geotechnical models that compose this part of Tirana City.
