class openquake.hazardlib.gsim.abrahamson_silva_2008.AbrahamsonSilva2008

Implements GMPE developed by Norman Abrahamson and Walter Silva and published as “Summary of the Abrahamson & Silva NGA Ground-Motion Relations” (2008, Earthquakes Spectra, Volume 24, Number 1, pages 67-97). This class implements only the equations for mainshock/foreshocks/swarms type events, that is the aftershock term (4th term in equation 1, page 74) is set to zero. The constant displacement model (page 80) is also not implemented (that is equation 1, page 74 is used for all periods and no correction is applied for periods greater than the constant displacement period). This class implements also the corrections (for standard deviation and hanging wall term calculation) as described in: http://peer.berkeley.edu/products/abrahamson-silva_nga_report_files/ AS08_NGA_errata.pdf
