Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There were considerable residuals between the observed and predicted values. These residuals result from the site and source effects, because the previous attenuation formulae were constructed based on many site’s strong motion records from many earthquakes occurring at various source areas. In order to overcome the weakness of the previous attenuation equations, we proposed empirical ground motion prediction equations for a single site; we named these equations “Single-Site GMPE (SS-GMPE)”. We carried out a regression analysis with respect to MW for each site assuming the previously estimated internal attenuation for intraslab earthquakes. The residuals between the observed and predicted values were considerably decreased. We applied the SS-GMPE to earthquakes not used in the regression analysis and found the good correspondence of predicted and observed spectra.
