An evaluation of seismic hazards, whether deterministic (scenario based) or probabilistic, requires an estimate of the expected ground motion at the site of interest. The most common means of estimating this ground motion in engineering practice, including probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), is the use of an attenuation relation. An attenuation relation, or ground-motion model as seismologists prefer to call it, is a mathematical-based expression that relates a specific strong-motion parameter of ground shaking to one or more seismological parameters of an earthquake. These seismological parameters quantitatively characterize the earthquake source, the wave propagation path between the source and the site, and the soil and geological profile beneath the site. ...
