class openquake.hazardlib.gsim.atkinson_boore_2003.AtkinsonBoore2003SInter

Implements GMPE developed by G. M Atkinson and D. Boore and published as “Empirical Ground-Motion Relations for Subduction-Zone Earthquakes and Their Application to Cascadia and Other Regions” (Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Volume 93, Number 4, pages 1703-1929, 2003) and includes correction for subduction interface equations as described in “Erratum to ‘Empirical Ground Motion Relations for Subduction-Zone Earthquakes and their application to Cascadia and other regions’”, Gail M. Atkinson and David M. Boore, Volume 98, Number 5, pp.2567-2569, 2008. The class implements the global model but not the corrections for Japan/Cascadia. SA values at 4 s (not supported by the original equations) are obtained from mean value at 3 s divided by a factor equal to 0.550 (scaling factor computed in the context of the SHARE project and obtained as average ratio between median values at 4 and 3 seconds as predicted by SHARE subduction GMPEs). The class implements the equations for ‘Subduction Interface’ (that’s why the class name ends with ‘SInter’).

DEFINED_FOR_INTENSITY_MEASURE_COMPONENT = 'Random horizontal'

Supported intensity measure component is the random horizontal

DEFINED_FOR_INTENSITY_MEASURE_TYPES = set([<class 'openquake.hazardlib.imt.PGA'>, <class 'openquake.hazardlib.imt.SA'>])

Supported intensity measure types are spectral acceleration, and peak ground acceleration, see table 1, page 1715

DEFINED_FOR_STANDARD_DEVIATION_TYPES = set(['Total', 'Inter event', 'Intra event'])

Supported standard deviation types are inter-event, intra-event and total, see table 1, page 1715

DEFINED_FOR_TECTONIC_REGION_TYPE = 'Subduction Interface'

Supported tectonic region type is subduction interface

REQUIRES_DISTANCES = set(['rrup'])

Required distance measure is closest distance to rupture, see equation 1, page 1706

REQUIRES_RUPTURE_PARAMETERS = set(['hypo_depth', 'mag'])

Required rupture parameters are magnitude and focal depth, see equation 1, page 1706

REQUIRES_SITES_PARAMETERS = set(['vs30'])

Required site parameters is Vs30, used to distinguish between NEHRP soil classes, see paragraph ‘Functional Form’, page 1706

class openquake.hazardlib.gsim.atkinson_boore_2003.AtkinsonBoore2003SSlab

Implements GMPE developed by G. M Atkinson and D.

The class implements the global model but not the corrections for Japan/Cascadia. SA values at 4 s (not supported by the original equations) are obtained from mean value at 3 s divided by a factor equal to 0.550 (scaling factor computed in the context of the SHARE project and obtained as average ratio between median values at 4 and 3 seconds as predicted by SHARE subduction GMPEs). The class implements the equations for ‘Subduction IntraSlab’ (that’s why the class name ends with ‘SSlab’).

DEFINED_FOR_TECTONIC_REGION_TYPE = 'Subduction IntraSlab'

Supported tectonic region type is subduction interface

class openquake.hazardlib.gsim.atkinson_boore_2003.AtkinsonBoore2003SInterNSHMP2008

Extend AtkinsonBoore2003SInter and introduces site amplification for B/C site condition and fixed rupture hypocentral depth (20 km) as defined by the National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project (NSHMP) for the 2008 US hazard model

Site amplification for B/C is triggered when vs30 > 760 and it is computed as site amplification for C soil scaled by a factor equal to 0.5

The class implements the equation as coded in subroutine getABsub in hazSUBXnga.f Fortran code available at: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/products/conterminous/2008/software/

get_mean_and_stddevs(sites, rup, dists, imt, stddev_types)

See superclass method for spec of input and result values.

Call super class method with hypocentral depth fixed at 20 km

class openquake.hazardlib.gsim.atkinson_boore_2003.AtkinsonBoore2003SSlabNSHMP2008

Extend AtkinsonBoore2003SSlab and introduces site amplification for B/C site condition as defined by the National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project (NSHMP) for the 2008 US hazard model.

Site amplification for B/C is triggered when vs30 > 760 and it is computed as site amplification for C soil scaled by a factor equal to 0.5

The class replicates the equation as coded in subroutine getABsub in hazgridXnga2.f Fortran code available at: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/products/conterminous/2008/software/
