TL;DR: A set of fourteen invasive and non-invasive geophysical methods are compared for the measurement of the shear-velocity (Vs) profile at or near a borehole at the Coyote Creek outdoor Classroom, Santa Clara Valley, California.

TL;DR: In this article, a ground motion prediction model (GMPM) for horizontal-component peak ground velocity, peak ground acceleration, and 5% damped pseudoacceleration response spectra, at 105 periods ranging from 0.01 to 10.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the amplifications of the ground displacement ground motion in the Denali fault earthquake are period dependent, and they are in rough agreement with those from previous studies, but the new data show that amplifications extend to at least 10 seconds, periods longer than considered in previous studies.

TL;DR: In this article, adjustment factors are provided for converting ground-motion intensity measures between central and eastern North America (CENA) sites with different reference-rock site conditions (V S 30 =760, 2000, and 3000 m/s) for moment magnitudes ranging from 2 to 8, rupture distances ranging from two to 1200 km, Fourier amplitude spectra (FAS) for frequencies ranging from 0.01 to 100 Hz, response spectra for periods ranging from

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnitude relation cannot be used as a discriminant between two specific spectral scaling relations, one with constant stress and the other with stress increasing with seismic moment, that have been proposed for ENA earthquakes.
