Monitoring of Peak Ground Velocity During Rockbursts
IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 1987To design tunnel support to withstand rockbursts in deep hardrock mining it is necessary to know the peak velocity of a tunnel sidewall under such severe conditions. A method of measuring peak ground velocity during rockbursts and a general-purpose robust data-logger developed for this purpose is described.

Earthquake Spectra, 1999
We have developed regression relationships between Modified Mercalli Intensity ( Imm) and peak ground acceleration (PGA) and velocity (PGV) by comparing horizontal peak ground motions to observed intensities for eight significant California earthquakes.

THE PREDICTION AND USE OF PEAK GROUND VELOCITY
Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2006Peak ground velocity (PGV) has received much less attention in the technical literature than more widely-used parameters such as peak ground acceleration (PGA) and response spectral ordinates. However, there are many examples of the use of PGV in engineering seismology and earthquake engineering, including as a parameter from which to estimate ...

Conditional Ground-Motion Model for Peak Ground Velocity for Active Crustal Regions
PEER Reports, 2020Conditional models for the horizontal and vertical peak ground velocity (PGV), given the pseudospectral acceleration [PSA(T)] values, are developed for active crustal regions. The period of the PSA(T) used in the conditional model, TPGV , is magnitude dependent, which captures the effect of the magnitude dependence of the earthquake source corner ...

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.

Near-Fault Peak Ground Velocity from Earthquake and Laboratory Data
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2007We test the hypothesis that peak ground velocity (pgv) has an upper bound independent of earthquake magnitude and that this bound is controlled primarily by the strength of the seismogenic crust. The highest pgvs, ranging up to several meters per second, have been measured at sites within a few kilometers of the causative faults.

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2004
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.

Artificial ground motion compatible with specified peak velocity and target spectrum
Acta Seismologica Sinica, 2006In this paper, a method, which synthesizes the artificial ground motion compatible with the specified peak velocity as well as the target acceleration response spectrum, was proposed. In this method, firstly, an initial acceleration time history a g (0) (t), which satisfies the ...

Effect of peak ground velocity on deformation demands for SDOF systems
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2005SUMMARY The eect of peak ground velocity (PGV) on single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) deformation demands and for certain ground-motion features is described by using a total of 60 soil site records with source- to-site distances less than 23 km and moment magnitudes between 5.5 and 7.6.

On the Calculation of Peak Ground Velocity for Seismic Performance Assessment
Earthquake Spectra, 2015Ratios of pseudo-spectral velocity (averaged over the period range of 0.5–2 seconds and at a period of 1 second) to peak ground velocity (PGV) were computed for hundreds of ground motion records selected from the PEER NGA Strong Motion Database. Two-stage regression analyses were performed to develop models for the ratios. The inter-event terms of the
