1 Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) Projects Yousef Bozorgnia, Ph.D., P.E. Executive Director, Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), University of California, Berkeley

2 NGA= Next Generation Attenuation Relation Three separate NGA projects: For active crustal EQs (like California, Middle East, Japan, Taiwan, ): NGA-West For subduction EQs (like Pacific Northwest and northern California, Japan, Chile, Peru, ): NGA-Sub Stable continental regions (like central & eastern US, a good portion of Europe, South Africa, ): NGA-East

3 NGA-West1 (Original NGA Project) Initiated October 2003 PEER compiled a very comprehensive database of ground motions recorded in shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regions Numerous supporting research studies were also carried out

4 NGA-West1 In 2008, NGA ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) were finalized USGS adopted the NGA-West1 GMPEs for the US National Seismic Hazard Maps NGA-West2 is a follow-up of NGA- West1

5 Sponsors of NGA-West2 Supports of the sponsors are appreciated

10 Update worldwide database NGA-West2 database includes over 21,000 three-component recordings (over 63,000 records) From NGA-West1 to NGA-West2 the size of database was increased by a factor of 6

11 Examples of data added to NGA-West2 database Earthquake Name* Year M N Rec Rrup Range (km) Tottori, Japan Niigata, Japan Chuetsu-oki, Japan Iwate, Japan El Mayor-Cucapah, CA Darfield, New Zealand Christchurch, New Zealand Wenchuan, China L'Aquila, Italy *subset of added events

12 Many NGA-West1 records were re-processed to widen the useable bandwidth Number of reliable longperiod records was increased by more than a factor of 2.5 Courtesy: Tim Ancheta

13 We added small magnitude data Database has 10,706 recordings associated with magnitude 4.5 Motivation: NGA-West1 models over-predicted motions for small magnitude In the future, we can analyze multiple events recorded at same site to characterize the site variability (single-station Sigma) In the regions that have mainly small magnitude data, they can compare NGA with their data

17 Database flatfiles It has data (PGA, PGV, RotD50) and Metadata = Data about data

18 Database flatfiles Flatfiles are publically available at: These are the files we used to develop GMPEs The flatfiles have response spectra There are 11 flatfiles available for 11 damping values

19 Public availability of NGA-West2 time series Actual time series ( time-histories ) will be downloaded from PEER web site Beta version of the online tool to select and download time series is being tested by a small group of users to test and find errors, typos Widespread version of the online database will be available in few weeks

20 NGA-West2 GMPEs for horizontal motion Using the latest database, and Using supporting research on: Directivity of ground motion HW/FW model using simulations data Update of nonlinear soil response New classification of main shock vs aftershocks

21 NGA-West2 GMPEs for horizontal motion Five teams of GMPE developers worked interactively and developed five GMPEs for horizontal components Abrahamson-Silva-Kamai (ASK team) Boore-Stewart-Seyhan-Atkinson (BSSA) Campbell-Bozorgnia (CB) Chiou-Youngs (CY) Idriss (I)

22 NGA-West2 GMPEs for horizontal motion Scope of horizontal GMPEs: RotD50 as the main intensity measure PGA, PGV, and spectral periods at least at 21 periods: 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7.5 and 10 sec No GMPE for PGD

23 NGA-West2 GMPEs for horizontal motion Scope of horizontal GMPEs: Applicable magnitude range: M 8.5 for strikeslip; M 8 for Reverse; M 7.5 for Normal faults Applicable distance range: km If a GMPE developer team chooses different ranges, they have to provide reasoning GMPE developer teams can select a sub-set of the database, and provide reasoning for the selection

24 Example of comparison of horizontal GMPEs

25 Example of comparison of horizontal GMPEs 1 R JB =30, Strike-Slip, VS30= ASK BSSA CB CY I M

26 Example of changes since 2008 Reduced conservatism at small-moderate magnitude

27 Magnitude saturation at short periods is now a common feature Magnitude Saturation

28 Status of NGA-West2 GMPEs for Horizontal Motion

29 Status of Horizontal GMPEs PEER reports have been published and available free of charge to download Horizontal GMPEs were reviewed and adopted by the USGS for the 2014 National Seismic Hazard Maps Major impact on seismic design and evaluation of all facilities in the western US 29

30 Status of Horizontal GMPEs A collection of papers have been submitted and accepted by journal of Earthquake Spectra Accepted papers have been posted and can be downloaded from EERI web site Hard copy papers will be printed in August 2014 issue of EQS 30

31 Excel file of GMPEs There is an Excel file of the five GMPEs that you enter input parameters and it gives you weighted average of the prediction. Download it free of charge from: 31

32 GMPEs for Vertical Ground Motion

33 NGA-West2 vertical GMPEs Four teams have completed development of GMPEs for vertical component: Gulerce-Kamai-Abrahamson-Silva (GKAS) Stewart-Seyhan-Boore-Atkinson (SSBA) Bozorgnia-Campbell (BC) Chiou-Youngs (CY)

34 Example of V/H spectra ratio 34

35 Status of NGA-West2 Vertical GMPEs A single PEER report, with different chapters documenting different vertical GMPEs, was published Journal papers to be submitted to Earthquake Spectra

36 Damping scaling of response spectra

37 Damping scaling of response spectra Scale GMPEs for damping other than 5%: 0.5% to 30% Ref: Rezaeian et al. (2012)

38 Damping scaling of response spectra A model was developed to scale spectral ordinates as a function of Damping ratio Magnitude Distance Damping Scaling Factors Ref: Rezaeian et al. (2012) Duration was important, but took care of the effects approximately through magnitude and distance Different models for horizontal and vertical components

39 Directivity Most NGA-West1&2 models have not explicitly included directivity of ground motion Five directivity models have been developed in NGA-West2 Wide-band and narrowband models This effort will continue in 2014 Latitude Landers, CA, EQ Lucerne Valley 136 cm/sec Rupture propagation Backward directivity region Forward directivity region Epicenter Joshua Tree 43 cm/sec Longitude

40 Directionality (Polarization) NGA models are for average horizontal components Developed max and min rotated spectra, as a function of mag, distance, Examine relationship of max/min spectra with RotD50 (50 percentile) spectra Ref: Boore (2010)

41 Directionality key findings Only for the cases when the site is within 5 km of the fault and spectral period is longer than 0.5 sec, is the orientation of maximum rotated spectral ordinate is more likely to be closer to the strike-normal than the strike-parallel direction Beyond these ranges, the angle of the maximum rotated motion is random Ref: Shahi and Baker, PEER report 2013/10

42 Site Response NGA-West1 site amplification factors were inconsistent with NEHRP site amplification factors Goal: To make NEHRP and NGA site amplifications more consistent Proposed, and got major approval, to revise NEHRP factors
