Equations for Estimating Horizontal Response Spectra and Peak Acceleration from Western North American Earthquakes: A Summary of Recent Work

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide tables for estimating random horizontal component peak acceleration and 5 percent damped pseudo-acceleration response spectra in terms of the natural, rather than common, logarithm of the ground-motion parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of quaternary alluvium on strong ground motion in the Coyote Lake, California, earthquake of 1979

TL;DR: The effect of alluvium on strong ground motion can be seen by comparing two strong-motion records of the Coyote Lake, California, earthquake of 6 August 1979 (M L = 5.9) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A general inversion scheme for source, site, and propagation characteristics using multiply recorded sets of moderate-sized earthquakes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived an inversion scheme that fits the logarithms of seismic body-wave spectra to ω 2 source shapes conditioned by anelastic attenuation with a frequency-independent Q.
