<p>The Narmada South Fault in the Indian peninsular shield region is associated with moderate-to-strong earthquakes. The prevailing hazard evidenced by the earthquake-related fatalities in the region imparts significance to the investigations of the seismogenic ...

The characterisation of strong ground motion is a crucial element of analyses of seismic risk for isolated structures and lifeline networks. Many measures of the strength of ground motion (intensity measures) have been developed. Each intensity measure may ...

In the field of earthquake engineering, ground-motion prediction models are frequently used to estimate the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and the pseudospectral acceleration (PSA). In regions of the world where ground-motion recordings are plentiful, such ...

Pseudostatic analysis is one of the simplest approaches used in earthquake engineering to analyze the seismic response of soil embankments and slopes. However, the choice of seismic coefficients used in the analysis can be arbitrary and generally lacks rationale. ...

This paper addresses the issue of predicting parameters and strong motion characteristics, discussing the definition of peak acceleration parameters and duration and the consequences of the variations, often not specified that exist amongst the definitions ...
