Earthquake Generated SH Waves in the Near Field and Near-Regional Field.

Abstract

The prediction of earthquake strong motion values for aseismic design purposes is inhibited by scatter in previous correlations. Some of the scatter may be eliminated by a better understanding of the process of seismic wave transmission. This report is concerned with developing a methodology for predicting SH wave ground motion from earthquake sources in the distance range of 5-500 km for waves with frequencies less than 1.0 Hz. Suggestions for extending the methodology are also made. (Author)
