Simulation of Ground Motions from the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake and an Aftershock of the 1975 Oroville Earthquake
Abstract
In this report, we describe a model for earthquakes which can be used to calculate ground motions at the earth's surface cheaply and accurately. The method was developed to be used as input to computer programs which can predict atmospheric pressure waves due to earthquakes. The method was used in a previous report to model the 1971 San Fernando earthquake. Approximations used in that work are checked in this report using more exact methods. The model is then modified to fit observations of an aftershock of the 1975 Oroville earthquake.
