Nonstationary Stochastic Simulation of Strong Ground-Motion Time Histories : Application to the Japanese Database [PDF]
For earthquake-resistant design, engineering seismologists employ time-history analysis for nonlinear simulations. The nonstationary stochastic method previously developed by Pousse et al. (2006) has been updated.

Neural Network-Based Equations for Predicting PGA and PGV in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas
Parts of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas have experienced increased rates of seismicity in recent years, providing new datasets of earthquake recordings to develop ground motion prediction models for this particular region of the Central and Eastern North ...

Probabilistic earthquake-tsunami multi-hazard analysis:application to the Tohoku region, Japan [PDF]
This study develops a novel simulation-based procedure for the estimation of the likelihood that seismic intensity (in terms of spectral acceleration) and tsunami inundation (in terms of wave height), at a particular location, will exceed given hazard ...

Seismic Site Effects in Owhiro Bay Quarry, Wellington: Field Observations and Numerical Modelling
Local topography and geology are well known factors affecting the intensity of seismic shaking. We have investigated the seismic site effects at a site of the Owhiro Bay Quarry in Wellington, New Zealand, using instrumental records and numerical models.

Assessing infrequent large earthquakes using geomorphology and geodesy in the Malawi Rift [PDF]
In regions with large, mature fault systems, a characteristic earthquake model may be more appropriate for modelling earthquake occurrence than extrapolating from a short history of small, instrumentally observed earthquakes using the Gutenberg–Richter ...

Shallow Shear‐Wave Reflection Surveys in the Wellington Central Business District
Seismic reflection profiling using shear waves provides constraints on the thickness of sediments beneath the Wellington Central Business District. Standard seismic methods were modified for urban environments where limited grassed areas are available and levels of cultural noise are high.

Rock and Stiff-Soil Site Amplification: Dependency on VS30 and Kappa ( 0) [PDF]
A ground‐motion prediction equation (GMPE) specific to rock and stiff‐soil sites is derived using seismic motion recorded on high VS30 sites in Japan. This GMPE applies to events with 4.5≤Mw≤6.9 and VS30 ranging from 500 to 1500 m/s (stiff‐soil to rock sites).
