Empirical Response Spectral Attenuation Relations for Shallow Crustal Earthquakes
TL;DR: In this article, empirical response spectral attenuation relations for the average horizontal and vertical component for shallow earthquakes in active tectonic regions were derived using a database of 655 recordings from 58 earthquakes.

Summary of the Abrahamson & Silva NGA Ground-Motion Relations:
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a ground motion model for the rotation-independent average horizontal component from shallow crustal earthquakes using the PEER NGA database, which is applicable to magnitudes 5-8.5, distances 0-200 km, and spectral periods of 0-1 0 sec.

Summary of the ASK14 Ground Motion Relation for Active Crustal Regions
TL;DR: In this article, the average horizontal component from shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regions is derived using the PEER NGA-West2 database using a ground motion model.
Journal ArticleDOI
NGA Project Strong-Motion Database
TL;DR: A key component of the NGA research project was the development of a strong-motion database with improved quality and content that could be used for ground-motion research as well as for engineering practice.
