A key question in earthquake seismology is whether earthquake sources in different tectonic regions are functionally equivalent in terms of radiated ground motion. This thesis compares the apparent earthquake source radiation for six different tectonic regions covering Japan, Me…

The response of soil masses during an earthquake is governed by the characteristics of the ground motions and the soil material properties. The ground motions generated during earthquakes are random and nonstationary with respect to both amplitude and frequency. Different method…
Site conditions play a major role in establishing the damage potential of incoming seismic waves from major earthquakes. Damage patterns in Mexico City after the 1985 Michoacan earthquake demonstrated conclusively the significant effects of local site conditions on seismic respo…
The work described in this paper serves to develop earthquake ground motion suites for Memphis, Tennessee. These ground motion suites are useful as design ground motions which may be used in either linear or nonlinear response history structural analysis of bridges and buildings…
Accurate prediction of strong ground motion is central to seismic hazard analysis in order to estimate losses during major earthquakes. Ground motion simulations are essential to seismic ground motion prediction, especially for locations of infrequent observations, such as large…
