We introduce a new proxy measure for VS 30 (time‐averaged shear‐wave velocity in the
upper 30 m) for central and eastern North America (CENA). The new proxy is the site …

The time‐averaged shear‐wave velocity in the upper 30 m of a site (VS 30) is commonly
used for ground‐motion prediction. When measured velocities are unavailable, VS 30 is …

Time‐averaged shear‐wave velocity in the upper 30 m of a site (VS 30) is the most common
parameter used to characterize seismic site response in ground‐motion models. However …

This paper presents the development of large-scale simulation-based data sets used to
inform new site amplification models for Central and Eastern North America (CENA). Linear …

We develop a regional site‐effects model for central and eastern North America based on an
analysis of the residuals of observed ground‐motion parameters relative to two regional …

A Texas-specific VS 30 map that uses geostatistical kriging integrated with a region-specific
geologic proxy, field measurements of VS 30, and P-wave seismogram estimates of VS 30 is …

This article presents a suite of response spectrum (RS) and Fourier amplitude spectrum
(FAS) site amplification models for Central and Eastern North America (CENA). The …

The P-wave seismogram method is used to develop estimates of the time averaged shear
wave velocity of the upper 30 m (VS 30) at 251 seismic stations in Texas, Oklahoma, and …

Seismic risk assessment on a regional scale requires an estimation of ground motion
intensity and its spatial variation over large geographical areas. This task is particularly …

ABSTRACT A community is a dynamic system of people, organizations, and patterned
relationships and interactions. Most of these relationships and interactions are physically …
