Seismic Attenuation and Peak Ground Acceleration in Taiwan
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2004We have taken advantage of the great collection of ground-motion acceleration records from the Central Weather Bureau of Taiwan to derive new attenuation relations corresponding to different geological settings: the shallow crustal earthquakes in the active tectonic region and the subduction zone.

Synchronization of HTW Peak Responses with Peak Ground Acceleration
Geotechnical Engineering for Transportation Projects, 2004Pseudo-static analysis of seismic performance of an earth structure based on the assumption of the synchronization of its peak responses with the peak ground acceleration are described in this paper. For a mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall, the acceleration, horizontal wall displacement, earth pressure, bearing pressure, and inclusion ...

Magnitude-dependent variance of peak ground acceleration
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1995AbstractWe examine the variability of peak horizontal and vertical accelerations of the large California strong-motion data set for the time period 1957 to 1991 and find a statistically significant dependence of the standard error on earthquake magnitude. Specifically, the standard error decreases with increasing magnitude.

Distribution of Earthquake Peak Ground Accelerations for a Construction Site
Seismic Instruments, 2021To solve the problem of antiseismic strengthening, the integer macroseismic intensity of a building is insufficient, because this intensity cannot describe the seismic hazard of a territory. For this, it is necessary to establish the peak ground accelerations and estimate their statistical parameters.

Relationship between Peak Ground Acceleration, Peak Ground Velocity, and Intensity in Taiwan
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2003Based on the strong-motion data set from the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake and a shaking damage statistics database, we investigated the correlations between strong ground motions and earthquake damage (fatalities and building collapses) through a regression analysis.

The active faults near Tehran are capable of producing Mw magnitudes of 6.62–7.23; at epicentral distances of 25 km from the active faults, and Mw = 7.23, the peak ground horizontal acceleration, PGH, is between 386 and 730 cm/s2 and peak ground vertical acceleration, PGV, is between 192 and 261 cm/s2; the historic earthquake of the fourth century BC ...

Bayesian Analysis of Peak Ground Acceleration Attenuation Relationship
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010Estimation of peak ground acceleration is one of the main issues in civil and earthquake engineering practice. The Boore‐Joyner‐Fumal empirical formula [1] is well known for this purpose. In this paper we propose to use the Bayesian probabilistic model class selection approach to obtain the most suitable prediction model class for the seismic ...

During a disastrous earthquake, the early assessment and timely reporting of the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and peak ground velocity (PGV) maps will be crucial in an effective emergency response operation. In this study, we first derive an empirical relationship between M L and M W.

Global Attenuation Relationship for Estimating Peak Ground Acceleration
Journal of the Geological Society of India, 2018Abstract Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) is a very important ground motion parameter which is used to define the degree of ground shaking during an earthquake. It is also very helpful for designing earthquake resistant structure. The PGA can be estimated by attenuation relationships using magnitude, distance, source type etc of a ground ...
