Relationships between Peak Ground Acceleration, Peak Ground Velocity, and Modified Mercalli Intensity in California

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.

Effect of peak ground velocity on deformation demands for SDOF systems

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2005
SUMMARY 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.

Using peak ground velocity to characterize the response of soil-pile system in liquefying ground

Engineering Geology, 2018
Abstract Performance of a soil-pile system can be significantly influenced by many characteristics of an earthquake ground motion, and it is vitally important to identify the ground motion parameters that have the most significant effects on the response when predicting the level of movement or damage in the pile.

Near Real-Time Mapping of Peak Ground Acceleration and Peak Ground Velocity Following a Strong Earthquake

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.

Monitoring of Peak Ground Velocity During Rockbursts

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 1987
To 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.

Conditional Ground-Motion Model for Peak Ground Velocity for Active Crustal Regions

PEER Reports, 2020
Conditional 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, 2003
Based 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, 2007
We 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.
