In this regard, seismologists play a key role in defining the source parameters of earthquakes and estimating the associated site-specific ground motion amplification commonly termed site response. The relevant analyses are usually performed using either recorded ground motion for a handful of seismic events of moderate to large magnitude or by synthesizing stochastic processes based on the observational data. The hazard projection is aimed at a... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
