<p>Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) relate ground-motion intensity measures to variables describing earthquake source, path, and site effects. We select from many available GMPEs those models recommended for use in seismic hazard assessments in the ...

<p>Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) relate a ground-motion parameter (e.g. peak ground acceleration, PGA) to a set of explanatory variables describing the source, wave propagation path and site conditions. In the past five decades many hundreds of ...

The main use of seismic hazard analyses is to develop rock outcrop or stiff soil ground motions for use in design. the quantitative descriptions of the ground motions can be in terms of seimple scalar values (e.g. peak acceleration, peak velocity, peak displacement, ...
