In a way perhaps not dissimilar to stress drop (Atkinson and Beresnev, 1997), the high-
frequency attenuation parameter κ (kappa), introduced by Anderson and Hough (1984), is …

Abstract The 2013 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM13) results from a community-
based probabilistic seismic hazard assessment supported by the EU-FP7 project “Seismic …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

Abstract The Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE) project, which began in
June 2009, aims at establishing new standards for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment …

Seismic attenuation and the associated quality factor (Q) have long been studied in various
sub-disciplines of seismology, ranging from observational and engineering seismology to …

Aleatory variability in ground‐motion prediction, represented by the standard deviation
(sigma) of a ground‐motion prediction equation, exerts a very strong influence on the results …

This article presents the main results of the validation phase of the PRENOLIN project.
PRENOLIN is an international benchmark on 1D nonlinear (NL) site‐response analysis. This …

Correctly accounting for the uncertainty in ground‐motion prediction is a critical component
of probabilistic seismic‐hazard analysis (PSHA). This prediction is commonly achieved …

This study aims to identify the best-performing site characterization proxy alternative and
complementary to the conventional 30 m average shear-wave velocity VS 30, as well as the …

Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) describe the amplitude of shaking as a
function of earthquake magnitude, distance from the source, site conditions, and sometimes …
