Regionally adaptable ground-motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) for seismic hazard analysis
Adjustment of empirically derived ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs), from a data- rich region/site where they have been derived to a data-poor region/site, is one of the major challenges associated with the current practice of seismic hazard analysis. Due to the fre- quent use in …
