ABSTRACT This research attempts to propose a new simulating model capable of generating synthetic stochastic earthquake scenario including both seismological, and acceleration signal properties. The Iranian plateau is selected as a mainland for developing the model due to the existence of high-quality earthquake databases. This model is composed of two sub-models. The first one generates random seismic event scenarios including mainshocks and aftershocks. The second one procreates 3-dimensional synthetic stochastic accelerograms for each of the previously simulated events. This scenario-based predictive model offers a powerful tool to the risk modelers interested in lifetime seismic risk assessment through more realistic earthquake scenarios.
