Our models and understanding of the dynamics of earthquake rupture are based largely on
estimates of earthquake source parameters, such as stress drop and radiated seismic …

Seismic hazard modeling is a multidisciplinary science that aims to forecast earthquake
occurrence and its resultant ground shaking. Such models consist of a probabilistic …

This article presents the latest generation of ground-motion models for the prediction of
elastic response (pseudo-) spectral accelerations, as well as peak ground acceleration and …

The true performance of ground-motion prediction equations is often not fully appreciated
until they are used in practice for seismic hazard analyses and applied to a wide range of …

This paper presents the overall procedure followed in order to assemble the most recent pan-
European strong-motion databank: Reference Database for Seismic Ground-Motion in …

Seismic hazard analyses (SHA) are routinely carried out around the world to understand the
hazard, and consequently the risk, posed by earthquake activity. Whether single scenario …

A key element in any seismic hazard analysis is the selection of appropriate ground-motion
prediction equations (GMPEs). In an earlier paper, focused on the selection and adjustment …

Although the methodological framework of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis is well
established, the selection of models to predict the ground motion at the sites of interest …

The complete characterization of earthquake ground motion includes the length of the
interval of strong shaking as well as the amplitude and frequency content of the time series …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …
