Taxonomy of κ: A Review of Definitions and Estimation Approaches Targeted to Applications
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 …

Semi-empirical nonlinear site amplification from NGA-West2 data and simulations
We analyze NGA-West2 data and simulations to develop a site amplification model that
captures ground motion scaling with VS 30 and soil nonlinear effects. We parameterize …

Comparison of 1D linear, equivalent-linear, and nonlinear site response models at six KiK-net validation sites
Vertical seismometer arrays represent a unique interaction between observed and predicted
ground motions, and they are especially helpful for validating and comparing site response …

Partially non-ergodic region specific GMPE for Europe and Middle-East
The ergodic assumption considers the time sampling of ground shaking generated in a
given region by successive earthquakes as equivalent to a spatial sampling of observed …

Ground motion prediction equations for application to the 2015 Canadian national seismic hazard maps
GM Atkinson, J Adams - Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2013 - cdnsciencepub.com
Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) and their epistemic uncertainty are a key input
to seismic hazard assessments, because the GMPEs specify the expected ground-shaking …

Applicability of the Site Fundamental Frequency as a VS30 Proxy for Central and Eastern North America
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 …

Site condition evaluation using horizontal-to-vertical response spectral ratios of earthquakes in the NGA-West 2 and Japanese databases
We evaluate the usefulness of the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) response spectral ratio as a
parameter to describe site response. In particular we compare its effectiveness with that of …

Challenges in predicting seismic site response with 1D analyses: Conclusions from 114 KiK‐net vertical seismometer arrays
Nonlinear (NL) soil behavior often exhibits a strong influence on surficial ground motions,
and seismic site‐response models attempt to quantify these effects. However, site‐response …
