Strong ground motion: N.S.F. Seminar-Workshop [Proceedings]

EERL 1978.002, Earthquake Engineering Research Laboratory, California Institute of Technology Pasadena, [1978], 102 pages, pdf

The volume represents the proceedings of a seminar held at Rancho Santa Fe, California, Feb. 12-15, 1978. The meeting was conceived in response to a growing awareness of the mutual interest in research workers in seismology and earthquake engineers in the records of strong ground motion. The seminar was partly sponsored by the geophysical and earthquake engineering research programs within the National Science Foundation. The proceedings contain extended abstracts of the 21 invited papers. The papers and the discussions at the conference were grouped around three major areas: (1) characterization and parameterization of strong ground motion; (2) simulation and modeling of strong motion: deterministic and statistical; and (3) source mechanisms and estimation of strong motion for great earthquakes. The invited papers are followed by a brief discussion of the directions of future research.
