Strong Ground Motion Prediction Using Virtual Earthquakes
Science, 2014Sedimentary basins increase the damaging effects of earthquakes by trapping and amplifying seismic waves. Simulations of seismic wave propagation in sedimentary basins capture this effect; however, there exists no method to validate these results for earthquakes that have not yet occurred.

Curvograms of Strong Earthquake Ground Motion
Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1990A method for the synthetic generation of curvograms (curvature versus time) associated with strong earthquake shaking is presented. It is shown that small radii of curvative of ground motion, in the range of several hundred meters, are possible only for very large accelerations (1–3 ge/u), near epicenter, and in soft geologic and soil environment, with

The Barrier Model and Strong Ground Motion
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2003An overview of the most important developments in Engineering (or Strong Motion) Seismology is presented alongside Professor Keiiti Aki’s contributions, who is one of the founders of this field. The mechanics of earthquake rupture are discussed with due emphasis on the various physical phenomena. The presentation is made in a tutorial manner, borrowing

Directionality of Strong Ground Motion Durations
2014Directionality of ground motions is an important aspect to be considered in seismic design and is incorporated in the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) center’s Next Generation Attenuation Ground Motions (NGA) projects and ASCE7-10. However, the NGA models and ASCE7-10 are limited to ground motion response spectra.

Investigation of strong earthquake ground motion
1969The pattern of energy release during the Imperial Valley, California, earthquake of 1940 is studied by analysing the El Centro strong motion seismograph record and records from the Tinemaha seismograph station, 546 km from the epicenter. The earthquake was a multiple event sequence with at least 4 events recorded at El Centro in the first 25 seconds ...
