A simple and powerful method for simulating ground motions is to combine parametric or
functional descriptions of the ground motion's amplitude spectrum with a random phase …

The SEISAN seismic analysis system is a complete set of programs and a simple database
for analyzing earthquakes from analog and digital data. With SEISAN it is possible using …

The estimation of ground motion in future earthquakes for engineering purposes is one of
the primary motivations for the measurement and processing of strong-motion data. The …

Empirical predictions of ground motions from large eastern North American earthquakes are
hampered by a lack of data for such events. For this reason, most prediction techniques …

Earthquakes are nearly unique among natural phenomena-they affect virtually everything
within a region, from massive buildings and bridges, down to the furnishings within a home …

It is well known that seismic waves are enormously amplified at lake-bed sites with respect
to hill-zone sites in Mexico City. It has been suggested that even hill-zone sites suffer …

The stochastic method of ground‐motion simulation assumes that the energy in a target
spectrum is spread over a duration D T. DT is generally decomposed into the duration due to …

Strong ground motion attenuation relations are usually described by smoothly decreasing
functions of distance. However, consideration of wave propagation in the crust suggests that …

The specific barrier model, proposed and developed by,; provides the most complete, yet
parsimonious, self-consistent description of the faulting process. It applies both in the “near …

We provide an overview of new ground-motion relations for eastern North America (ENA)
developed over the last five years. The empirical-stochastic relations of Atkinson and Boore …
