The main objective of our study is to update the FDMs that were developed over a decade ago by the U.S. Geological Survey and California Geological Survey, in which a reference trace was drawn manually, FDMs are fixed-effect models for lateral displacement, displacement on multiple subparallel ruptures is not aggregated, magnitude (M) scaling is linear, and natural logarithm of displacement is assumed to be normally distributed.

Report GIRS 2022-02: An Efficient Computational Platform for Selecting and Scaling Ground Motion Records while Considering Multiple Target Spectra

By: Shokrabadi, Mehrdad; Bozorgnia, Yousef; Burton, Henry V.; Baker, Jack W.; Askari, Mohammad
DOI: 10.34948/N3K01N

This report presents an efficient computational platform that is developed to select and consistently scale recorded earthquake ground motions given a set of target response spectra for horizontal and vertical ground motion components and considering period-dependent record-to-record variabilities.
