A ground‐motion prediction equation for the horizontal component of the response spectral
values from the Chilean subduction zone is developed. The dataset contains 3774 …

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a procedure for simulating acceleration time
histories of large subduction earthquakes. The ground motions of the large event are …

We derive strong ground-motion relations for horizontal components of pseudo-acceleration
response spectra from Mexican interplate earthquakes at rock sites (NEHRP B class) in the …

The Chilean subduction zone is one of the most active in the world. Six events of magnitude
greater than M_w= 7.5 M w= 7.5 have occurred in the last 10 years, including the 2010 …

In this paper we summarize our recently-published work on estimating horizontal response
spectra and peak acceleration for shallow earthquakes in western North America. Although …

We present a new set of Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) for horizontal Peak
Ground Acceleration, Peak Ground Velocity, and 5% damped pseudo-spectral acceleration …

We develop a regional site‐effects model for central and eastern North America based on an
analysis of the residuals of observed ground‐motion parameters relative to two regional …

We propose a site‐classification scheme based on the predominant period of the site, as
determined from the average horizontal‐to‐vertical (H/V) spectral ratios of ground motion …

The functional form of empirical response spectral ground‐motion prediction equations
(GMPE s) is often derived using concepts borrowed from Fourier spectral modeling of …

A key issue in the assessment of seismic hazard in regions of low-to-moderate seismicity is
the extent to which accelerograms obtained from small-magnitude earthquakes can be used …
