This article documents the earthquake ground motion database developed for the NGA-East
Project, initiated as part of the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) research program and led …

Site amplification models for Central and Eastern North America are developed from
simulation results presented in a companion paper. Linear and nonlinear amplification …

This paper presents the development of large-scale simulation-based data sets used to
inform new site amplification models for Central and Eastern North America (CENA). Linear …

A ground motion model (GMM) tuned to the characteristics of the observed, and potentially
induced, seismicity in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas is developed using a database of …

We present empirical linear site amplification models conditioned on time-averaged shear
wave velocity in the upper 30 m (VS 30) for central and eastern North America. The models …

An alternative hybrid empirical ground‐motion model for central and eastern North America
(CENA) is proposed. The new ground‐motion model (GMM) is developed for the average …

In this study, we explore the applicability of f peak (the peak frequency of the site‐response
transfer function) as a site‐effect parameter for sites in California. The study is motivated by …

A key concept that is common to many assumptions inherent within seismic hazard
assessment is that of tectonic similarity. This recognizes that certain regions of the globe …

Kappa (the high‐frequency spectral decay slope at near‐source distances; often referred to
as κ 0) is determined at 25 seismograph stations in Eastern Canada using broadband …

In order to study the seismic wave attenuation characteristics of complex plate tectonics in
and around the Kanto Basin, based on the focal mechanism and Slab1. 0 model, the …
