Abstract

One-hundred and ninety free-field accelerograms recorded on deep soil (> 10 m deep) were used to study the near-source scaling characteristics of peak horizontal acceleration for 91 earthquakes (2.5 ≦ ML ≦ 5.0) located primarily in California. Of the six attenuation relationships developed in this study, the one considered most reliable is given by the expression.
