Canada’s 6th generation seismic hazard model (SHM6), as prepared for the 2020 National Building Code of Canada, was released in 2020. The seismic hazard model consists of both Cornell-type area sources and discrete fault sources. Sources are defined by their coordinates, depth, minimum and maximum magnitudes, and a magnitude-reoccurrence (M-R) relationship. M-R for each source is described in terms of an asymptotically truncated Gutenberg-Richter magnitude-frequency distribution.
