Model Description

Model Form

• This model produces the spectral acceleration, peak ground acceleration, or peak ground velocity at specified locations for given magnitude and hypocenter location of several earthquake sources as input, based on the Boore et al. (2014) attenuation relation.
• Depth to Vs = 1 km/s is calculated based on formulas recommended in the Boore et al. (2014), if it is unknown.
• In case of unkown parameters, you can enter the unknown-identifier (e.g. 999 in some fields) once for all inputs in each field, assuming all inputs of that field are unkown
• For more information, see Boore et al. (2014).

DDM Sensitivities

• No

Properties

Object Name

• Name of the object in Rt
• Allowable characters are upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, and underscore (“_”).
• The name is unique and case-sensitive.

Display Output

• Determines whether the model is allowed to print messages to the Output Pane.

Magnitude List

• Magnitudes of various earthquake sources

Hypocentre Location List

• Hypocenter locations of earthquake sources, which automatically will yield the radius \({R}\) to the various output locations.

Epsilon Uncertainty List

• Intra-event model error, typically a standard normal random variable

Eta Uncertainty List

• Inter-event model error, typically a standard normal random variable

Fault Types

• Fault mechanism that can either be Unspecified, Normal-slip, Strike-slip, or Reverse-slip.

Regions

• Region of the location of the building which can either be California, Japan, China, Taiwan, Italy, Turkey, or Other (If Other is used, the model will use California's specifications)

Response Type

• Type of the response than can either be \({S_a}\), \({PGA}\), or \({PGV}\)

Period List

• List of the natural periods at which the intensity is evaluated

Structure Location List

• List of the locations where the intensity will be computed at them (the output will give as many intensity values as the locations provided here)

Shear Wave Velocity List

• List of the shear wave velocities at the specified locations

Depth To Vs 1 List

• List of the depths of Vs = 1 km/s boundry of the specified locations (Use 999 as input in case of unknown depth)

Output

• Earthquake intensities (as many as the locations provided in the input)
• The output is an automatically generated generic response object, which takes the object name of the model plus “Response”.
