Abstract The historical 1 September 1803 Garhwal–Kumaon Himalaya earthquake (Mw 8.1)
was a solitary Himalayan earthquake reported felt widely in the Indo-Gangetic Plain with …

This work proposes the shear-wave attenuation tomography of the Garhwal and Kumaun
regions, Uttarakhand Himalaya, to investigate the crustal state. Based on attenuation …

This study presents broadband ground motions for the Indo-Gangetic basin, a large
sedimentary basin in India, for potential future great (Mw 8.5) Himalayan earthquakes. We …

Large thrust faults accommodate the convergence between India and Tibet along the
southern margin of the Himalaya and have a history of producing great earthquakes that …

This study investigates the influence of kappa (κ) for Delhi and its surrounding regions. Path,
as well as site dependent components of κ, are calculated from the available strong motion …

This study aims to estimate attenuation characteristics of the central Himalayan region of
India concerning various strong-motion parameters such as Kappa value (κ) and site effects …

Local site characteristics play an important role in controlling the damage pattern during
earthquakes (EQs). These site characteristics may vary from simple to complex and can be …

The recorded strong motion data in the Delhi region provide an excellent opportunity to
study high-frequency decay parameter, kappa (κ) for the National Capital (Delhi) region and …

It is necessary to develop scaling models of various functionals of ground motions for
different seismic regions to obtain region-specific motion characterizations for the design of …

Kumaon and Garhwal regions are the chief terrains of Uttarakhand Himalaya. The present
article simulates the strong ground motion of the 2011 IndoNepal earthquake in the Kumaon …
