Major features of ASB13
Sinan Akkar – 23/10/2013
o Developed using a subset of RESORCE (Reference Database for Seismic-Ground Motion in Europe)
o Total number of earthquakes: 221 o Total number of records: 1041 o Minimum and maximum response periods: PGA, PGV and T = 0.01s – T = 4.0s o Horizontal component definition: Geometric mean o Distance metrics: Repi, Rhyp and RJB o Maximum distance: 200 km o Maximum depth: 30 km o Minimum and maximum moment magnitude: Mw 4 – Mw 7.6 o Minimum and maximum VS30 (all measured): VS30 = 92 m/s – VS30 = 2165 m/s o Recommended magnitude, distance, period and VS30 intervals:
o 4 ≤ Mw ≤ 8 o Distances up to 200 km o PGA, PGV and 0.01s ≤ T ≤ 4 s o 150 m/s ≤ VS30 ≤ 1200 m/s
Overall distribution of strong-motion database
o 3-component, 1041 recordings with distances less than 200 km
o 221 earthquakes (MS + AS) with focal depths less than 30 km and Mw ≥ 4.
o Each event has at least 2 recordings
o 322 stations with measured VS30 values.
o Magnitudes up to Mw 7 and distances RJB > 5 km are well represented

SoF and VS30 – based distribution of strong-motion database
o Few data with VS30 > 800 m/s and VS30 < 180 m/s
o Reverse-faulting earthquakes are poorly represented. Most data come from normal (Italian) and strike-slip (Turkish) events
o Mw > 7 events are mostly from strike-slip earthquakes
Sinan Akkar – 23/10/2013
Depth distribution of strong-motion database
o Events with Mw > 6 have depths less than 20 km
o Depth distribution is more uniform for Mw ≤ 6

Style-of-Faulting (SoF) factors
o SoF coefficients are found to be sensitive to the distribution of faulting type in the database.
o They are obtained by removing the small events (Mw < 5) having less than 3 recordings (eliminate the poorly recorded events).

Residual analysis – overall trends
o Data do not support magnitude-dependent sigma (sparse data sampling towards large magnitudes)
o No biased estimations in terms of distance
o Slight overestimation at very soft sites and under estimation for rock sites at short periods (e.g., T = 0.2s)
T = 0.0s T = 0.2s T = 1.0s

Residual analysis – dependence of magnitude
Sinan Akkar – 23/10/2013
Variation of standard deviation seems to be independent of magnitude for Mw ≤ 6.5. For larger magnitudes, the fluctuations can be misleading as there is fewer data.

o No significant differences between normal and strike-slip earthquakes. Modeling uncertainty is higher for reverse events with respect to other two SoF
o More reliable results between 4.5 ≤ Mw ≤ 6

Standard deviation
o Variation of sigma is almost period independent except for the portion between 3s and 4s.
o The level of total sigma is similar to AB10. It is slightly larger with respect to NGA-W1 GMPEs.

Considerable reduction in the data size for T ≥ 3s results in the observed decay in standard deviations
At T = 4s, 36% of accelerograms and 28% of earthquakes are removed due to low-cut filter values used in data processing.
Data loss doubles between T = 3s and T = 4s
Conclusions – 1/3 Magnitude-dependence of sigma (for larger earthquakes)
o Database contains few large magnitude events above Mw 7. Thus, the distribution of data does not allow establishing a magnitude-dependent sigma.
o The variation of standard deviation seems to be independent for Mw ≤ 6.5.
o The model uncertainty seems to be less significant for 4.5 ≤ Mw ≤ 6 for the whole distance range.
Influence of depth on ASB13 estimates
o The variation of between-event residuals in terms of depth indicate that the bias in normal and strike-slip ground-motion estimations is insignificant with respect to reverse events. The reverse fault ground motions tend to be overestimated with increasing depth.
Sinan Akkar – 23/10/2013
Conclusions – 2/3
How well the estimates are for different SoF?
o SoF coefficients show similarities with CB08 and AB10 for N:SS ratios. They differ significantly with the compared GMPEs for R:SS ratios. The database is rich in terms of normal and strike-slip earthquakes. It is believed that N:SS ratios are stable in our model.
o The insignificant Mw-dependent between-event residual trends for N and SS estimates indicate better performance of ASB13 for these faulting mechanisms. The same performance is not observed for reverse earthquakes
o The model uncertainty also seems to be less significant for normal and strike-slip events. This observation supports the stability of N:SS ratios (or stability of N and SS SoF coefficients).
Sinan Akkar – 23/10/2013
Conclusions – 3/3
Reduction in sigma after T = 3.0s
o The decrease in number of earthquakes and accelerograms results in a sudden drop in sigma after T = 3.0s.
o The within-event sigma seems to be affected more by the decrease in accelerograms after T = 3s
o The reduction in between-event sigma is observed only for T ≥ 3.8s due to decrease in event number.
