TL;DR: In this article, an empirical model of the decay of Fourier amplitudes for earthquakes of M 3-6 recorded on rock sites in eastern North America and discuss its implications for source parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a structural design consistent with the collapse risk level given in the NEHRP documents, arguing that design spectra should be compatible with expected levels of ground motion along those principal response axes.

TL;DR: In this article, a new analysis of over 9000 readings from almost 1000 earthquakes in the southern California region was recently completed to redetermine the −log A o values of Richter's values.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for deriving depth-dependent velocity and density models for use in computing generic crustal amplifications is presented, based on the Boore and Joyner (1997) generic rock V S model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors contributed to a blind interpretation exercise for the determination of shear-wave slowness beneath the Santa Clara Valley. But their work was limited to six sites within the valley (with most investigations being conducted at a pair of closely spaced sites near the center of the valley).
