2) Estimated physical parameter

- Peak ground acceleration (Horizontal, Vertical)

- Peak ground velocity (Horizontal, Vertical)

- Spectral acceleration (h=5%, T=0.2 to 5 sec) (Horizontal, Vertical)

 

3) Used strong motion data

- Area: California

- Type of earthquake: inland earthquakes with depths up to 20 km

- Period: 1940 – 1994 years

- Number of events: 58

- Number of records: 662

- Magnitude: 4.9 – 7.5

- Equivalent hypocentral distance: 4 – 174 km (closest distance from fault plane: 0.3 – 174 km)

 

4) Style of faulting

Not specified

 

5) Ground condition

- pre-Quaternary

- Pleistocene

- Holocene

 

6) Definition of magnitude

Moment magnitude

 

7) Definition of source distance

Equivalent hypocentral distance

 

8) Definition of horizontal component

Two horizontal components are treated separately

 

9) Applicability written in the paper

The attenuation relationships are appropriate for earthquakes of distances of 0 to 200 km.

 

10) Empirical attenuation formula
