Validation And Update Of Hybrid Empirical Ground Motion (Attenuation) Relations For The CEUS, USGS Award Number: 05HQGR0032 Kenneth W. Campbell of EQECAT, Author September 2007
Ground motion models are the most common means of calculating peak ground motion parameters and response spectra in engineering practice. Where strong motion recordings are abundant, these models are empirically derived. Where the number of recordings is limited, they are developed typically from seismological models and constrained using weak motion data. This technical report for 05HQGR0032 is posted on USGS website.
Loss Estimates for a Puente Hills Blind-Thrust Earthquake in Los Angeles, California Kenneth W. Campbell of EQECAT, Hope Seligson of ABS Consulting, Coauthors
EERI paper that estimates losses due to a large earthquake on the Puente Hills fault using the publically available HAZUS loss-estimation software. These losses are not necessarily what our USQUAKE software would estimate, but SCEC required that we use publically available software for the project. This work is part of our continuing involvement in Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) research projects.
