<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 ...

Ground-motion relations for earthquakes that occur in subduction zones<br>are an important input to seismic-hazard analyses in many parts of the world. In the Cascadia region (Washington, Oregon, northern California, and British Columbia), for example, there ...

<p>A simple and powerful method for simulating ground motions is to combine parametric or functional descriptions of the ground motion&rsquo;s amplitude spectrum with a random phase spectrum modified such that the motion is distributed over a duration related ...
