Ground motion prediction maps using seismic-microzonation data and machine learning [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Past seismic events worldwide demonstrated that damage and death toll depend on both the strong ground motion (i.e., source effects) and the local site effects. The variability of earthquake ground motion distribution is caused by the local stratigraphic
