An improved method of matching response spectra of recorded earthquake ground motion using wavelets
Jonathan Hancock,Jennie Watson-Lamprey,Norman A. Abrahamson,Julian J. Bommer,Alexandros Markatis,Emma J. McCoy,Rishmila Mendis +6 more
TL;DR: The program RspMatch, which performs spectral matching using wavelets, is modified using new wavelets that obviate the need to subsequently apply a baseline correction and enables the accelerograms to be matched to the pseudo-acceleration or displacement spectral ordinates as well as the spectrum of absolute acceleration.

Criteria for selecting and adjusting ground-motion models for specific target regions: Application to Central Europe and rock sites
TL;DR: These procedures are applied to select and adjust ground-motion models for the analysis of seismic hazard at rock sites in West Central Europe, chosen for illustrative purposes particularly because it highlights the issue of using ground- motion models derived from small magnitude earthquakes in theAnalysis of hazard due to much larger events.

On the Use of Logic Trees for Ground-Motion Prediction Equations in Seismic-Hazard Analysis
Julian J. Bommer,Frank Scherbaum,Hilmar Bungum,Fabrice Cotton,Fabio Sabetta,Norman A. Abrahamson +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of the ground-motion models to these conversions is shown, especially the measure of source-to-site distance, highlighting the need to take into account any incompatibilities among the selected equations.

Probabilistic seismic demand analysis using advanced ground motion intensity measures
Polsak Tothong,Nicolas Luco +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare and contrast the use of various advanced scalar versus vector and conventional scalar ground motion intensity measures (IMs) for probabilistic seismic demand analysis (PSDA) to estimate the mean annual frequency of exceeding a specified value of a structural demand parameter (e.g. interstorey drift).

Tectonic stress and the spectra of seismic shear waves from earthquakes
TL;DR: In this paper, an earthquake model is derived by considering the effective stress available to accelerate the sides of the fault, and the model describes near and far-field displacement-time functions and spectra and includes the effect of fractional stress drop.

Modification of Empirical Strong Ground Motion Attenuation Relations to Include the Amplitude and Duration Effects of Rupture Directivity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed modifications to empirical strong ground motion attenuation relations to account for the effects of rupture directivity on strong motion amplitudes and durations, based on an empirical analysis of near-fault data.
