Title: Engineering characterization of strong ground motion recorded at rock sites. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:115648

An essential element in the seismic design of critical facilities is a quantitative estimate of ground motion characteristics due to earthquakes. This report confirms the validity of a simple relationship between magnitude, site condition and frequency content of the ground motion that is extremely useful for engineering design purposes.
