Class BooreEtAl_1997_Alaska

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    GroundMotionModel

    public class BooreEtAl_1997_Alaska
    extends Object
    implements GroundMotionModel
    Alaska-specific implementation of the Boore, Joyner & Fumal (1997) ground motion model for shallow earthquakes in active continental crust. This implementation was created to match fortran implementation with custom coefficients for different tectonic settings and styles of faulting. It's not clear what the relationship between the published 'b1' coefficients is and the values included in the fortran input files. This implementation is only for soft rock sites (Vs30 = 760 m/s).

        public LogicTree<GroundMotion> calc​(GmmInput in)
        Description copied from interface: GroundMotionModel
        Computes a logic tree of scalar ground motions and standard deviations for the supplied arguments. This method is implemented by GMMs to provide the horizontal peak ground acceleration and (optionally) velocity (PGA, PGV) as well as 5% damped pseudo-spectral acceleration for periods between 0.01 s and 10 s. For most modern GMMs, ground motions are computed as the average horizontal component (RotD50) but many older GMMs use some other average horizontal measure (e.g. GMRotI50).
