25 GMPE Source Terms GMPE M-scaling equation (log units) Basis for Large M-scaling M-dependent R- scaling? HW AB 2010 Empirical Yes: linear on GS term RJB AC 2010 Empirical Yes: linear on GS term RJB BEA 2011 Empirical Yes: linear on GS term RJB B 2013 CY 2008 Yes: cosh term on M CY 2008 HW term FEA 2010 Empirical Yes: additive term to Rrup No GK 2011 Empirical Effectively No No KEA 2006 Empirical Yes: additive term to Rrup No MEA 2006 AS 1997 Yes: linear on GS term PP 2004 Boore et al No RJB AS 1997 HW term ZEA 2006 & correction factor for M 2 term Empirical Yes: additive term to Rrup No

27 Summary Models using ACR data extend to M 7.9 (SS and RV). Max M for Normal is 6.9. Multiple models extend to R 400 km Widest range of V s30 is m/s; most models narrower ( m/s) Max. periods range from 2 to 20 sec. About 50% of the considered GMPEs include Class 2 events (aftershocks)

28 Summary Most models capture M-scaling with 2 nd order polynomial with parameters set from data. Most NGA models use simulations either to help establish functional form or to check results. Some models borrow M-scaling from other models (typically having more data) HW: most often captured with use of R jb ; three NGA models have specific HW term
