Review of earthquake vibratory ground motion intensity attenuation relationships

Creators

Description

The objective of this report is to provide a review of earthquake vibratory ground motion intensity-distance-attenuation relationships which depicts the evolution and limitations of currently used procedures. Two general procedures are considered; one procedure relates peak horizontal ground acceleration, earthquake magnitude, and distance, and the other relates epicentral Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI), distance, and attenuated MMI. A conversion relatiohsip between MMI and peak horizontal ground acceleration is used with the latter
