Atkinson and Boore 2006

class openquake.hazardlib.gsim.atkinson_boore_2006.AtkinsonBoore2006[source]

Implements GMPE developed by Gail M. Atkinson and David M. Boore and published as “Earthquake Ground-Motion Prediction Equations for Eastern North America” (2006, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Volume 96, No. 6, pages 2181-2205). This class implements only the equations for stress parameter of 140 bars. The correction described in ‘Adjustment of Equations to Consider Alternative Stress Parameters’, p. 2198, is not implemented. This class extends the BooreAtkinson2008 because it uses the same soil amplification function. Note that in the paper, the reported soil amplification function is the one used in a preliminary version of the Boore and Atkinson 2008 GMPE, while the one that should be used is the one described in the final paper.

class openquake.hazardlib.gsim.atkinson_boore_2006.AtkinsonBoore2006MblgAB1987bar140NSHMP2008[source]

Implements GMPE developed by Gail M. Atkinson and David M. Boore and published as “Earthquake Ground-Motion Prediction Equations for Eastern North America” (2006, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Volume 96, No. 6, pages 2181-2205) as utilized by the National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project (NSHMP) for the 2008 central and eastern US model.

The class replicates the algorithm as coded in subroutine getAB06 in hazgridXnga2.f Fortran code available at: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/products/conterminous/2008/software/

The class implement the equation for static stress drop equal to 140 bar.

The class assumes rupture magnitude to be in Mblg scale (given that MFDs for central and eastern US are given in this scale). Therefore Mblg is converted to Mw by using Atkinson and Boore 1987 conversion equation.

Mean value is clipped at 1.5 g for PGA and 3.0 g for SA with periods in range (0.02, 0.55) s.
