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 …

In finite-fault modeling of earthquake ground motions, a large fault is divided into N
subfaults, where each subfault is considered as a small point source. The ground motions …

The high-frequency seismic field near the epicenter of a large earthquake is modeled by
subdividing the fault plane into subelements and summing their contributions at the …

Ground-motion relations are developed for California using a stochastic simulation method
that exploits the equivalence between finite-fault models and a two-corner point-source …

Ground motions from earthquakes are created by ruptures on tectonic faults. The causative
faults can be considered point sources at distances large compared to the fault dimensions …

We used recordings of the M 6.8 Nisqually earthquake and its ML 3.4 aftershock to study site
response and basin effects for 35 locations in Seattle, Washington. We determined site …

The stochastic method of simulating ground motions from finite faults is validated against
strong-motion data from the M 6.7 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake. The finite-fault …

We generalize source, path, and site effects for California earthquakes as functions of
magnitude and distance, based on regression analysis of 1000 Fourier acceleration spectra …

The recently proposed hybrid Green's function method is designed to combine the
advantages of both deterministic and stochastic approaches to simulating broadband …

A ground‐motion prediction equation (GMPE) specific to rock and stiff‐soil sites is derived
using seismic motion recorded on high VS 30 sites in Japan. This GMPE applies to events …
