Evaluating Late Pleistocene and Holocene Rupture, Seismic Hazards and Ground Motion in the Lake Tahoe Basin
… identified in the first part of this study. The Ground motions modeled using Nevada ShakeZoning, a physics-based method incorporating geotechnical information and basin shape determined from geophysical methods, peak ground velocity (PGV) maps considerably different (and more accurate) than those …

Estimation of Earthquake Input Energy, Hysteretic Energy and its Distribution in MDOF Structures
… a new energy-based approach is proposed in which velocity index (VI), obtained as the product of two ground motion indexes - peak ground velocity (PGV) and cumulative absolute velocity (CAV), is used to normalize input energy spectra. The use of VI as a normalization factor not only allows for the …

Nonlinear site amplification functions for Central and Eastern North America
Site amplification functions are used to modify ground motions from a reference bedrock condition to a surface condition based on the geologic features of the site of interest. Site amplification has been extensively studied and evaluated empirically for seismic regions such as the Western United …
