Ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) estimate ground motion at any given site due to an earthquake at a distance. There are many such equations, each with different parameters.

Can somebody please suggest those equations which can estimate peak ground acceleration (PGA) values from a 3-D rupture from parameters like rupture distance, Joyner–Boore distance, and so on?

  • First principles from Green's Equations? – winwaed Jun 17 '14 at 00:48
  • The elasto-dynamic wave equation (basically the momentum equation) is all you need to predict ground motion locally (0-100s of km) due to slip on faults. – stali Dec 08 '14 at 19:21
  • @stali that sounds like the beginning of a good answer to this question. –  Dec 20 '14 at 14:13

    @SabreTooth The details aren't very useful. If OP wants he can read a pre-print of mine at http://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.0429v2.pdf – stali Dec 24 '14 at 17:41
  • Check at the compilation on http://www.gmpe.org.uk. After a quick look I didn't find any, but maybe you can give it a harder look. – carnendil Jan 25 '16 at 19:48
