14 Selection of candidate GMPEs Identification of worldwide GMPEs Application of the exclusion criteria of Cotton et al. (2006) Review of the GMPEs applicability range Adjustment for parameter compatibility Evaluation of the GMPEs using the criteria of Bommer et al. (2010) Expert elicitation Logic trees from 6 experts Testing using data Rankings of GMPEs based on Scherbaum et al. (2009) Delavaud, Cotton, Akkar et al., 2012, Journal of Seismology Proposition of logic trees : WP4 consensus Selection of the final GMPEs Proposition of different sets of weights Sensitivity analysis of the proposed weights on the seismic hazard Final logic tree

15 Exclusion criteria Applied these criteria to all models in compendium: 1. the model is from a clearly irrelevant tectonic regime; 2. the model is not published in an interna,onal peer- reviewed journal; 3. the documenta,on of model and its underlying dataset is insufficient; 4. the model has been superseded by more recent publica,ons; 5. the frequency range of the model is not appropriate for engineering applica,on; 6. the model has an inappropriate func,onal form; and 7. the regression method or regression coefficients are judged to be inappropriate. Criteria 1 means GMPEs only selected for their proposed regime Uncertainty in regionalisa,on handled by GEM WG on this topic Criteria 2 was occasionally relaxed, par0cularly for SCRs Criteria 4 removes the majority of pre models Criteria 5 removes all PGA- only models + GMPEs only for 0.05<T<2s Criteria 6 and 7 remove most local models, non- parametric models and those not derived using maximum- likelihood/random- effects techniques

18 Overall philosophy of experts Aim to conserve the minimum number of models that allows capturing of epistemic uncertainty Aim to conserve models that can be applied and weighted similarly for en0re M, R and frequency range to facilitate PSHA and to avoid strange results at edges of bins Aim to conserve only models derived using state- of- the- art techniques Retained only NGA, pan- European and Japanese models since they are backed by large datasets and take into account the magnitude- scaling of ground- mo0ons Delavaud, Cotton, Akkar et al., 2012, Journal of Seismology

20 Toward a consensus? Models selected by the data- tes0ng AND all experts have been selected Models selected either by some of the experts or the data- tes0ng have been discussed. A consensus logic tree has been chosen Sensi0vity tests have been performed to evaluate the difference between the resul0ng common logic tree and individual choices : selec0on is more important than weigh0ng

24 Key discussions Outline during the project Global or local models? What is a rock site? Beyond GMPE s? Removing the ergodic assump0on? Regionalisa0on of GMPE s Vs30/slope correla0ons

25 How to use local weak-motion data? Accelerometric data M w = Dist= km 25

26 What do regional data show us? Assumptions: Far-field approximation (Dist>15 km) Brune s type source (1970) Average radiation pattern v S constant along the path Geometrical decay constant between 15 and 200 km Q(f)=Q 0 f α Source Propagation Site Drouet et al., 2008, 2010

27 Stress- drop regional varia0ons in France Red: Alps Green: Rhine Grabben Blue: Pyrenees Drouet et al., 2008,

28 Question (unresolved ) : are stress- drop magnitude-dependent? Regional stochastic GMPEs for France Courtesy of S. Drouet, 2013 Figure 4 Left : Stress drop versus moment magnitudes for three regions of the French metropolitan area (Alps: red crosses; Pyrenees: blue crosses; Rhine Graben: green crosses) and for the French West Indies (grey crosses) ; average moment magnitudes and stress drops for each data sets are also plotted (circles). Data from the NGA flatfile ( last accessed March 2012) are also plotted (black crosses). The solid lines represent the regional stress drops models used in the simulations. Right : comparison of teh stress drop model for the Alpes and the models for Switzerland (Edwards, 2012,

29 Unresolved question : reproducing large earthquake groundmotion decay given small magnitude earthquake decay Akkar and Bommer,

30 The site part is the most useful information (on the short term) Assumptions: Far-field approximation (Dist>15 km) Brune s type source (1970) Average radiation pattern v S constant along the path Geometrical decay constant between 15 and 200 km Q(f)=Q 0 f α Source Propagation Site Drouet et al., 2008, 2010

31 What is a rock site? Shield : Vs30=2500 m/s Continental Europe : Vs30=800m/s

32 Site part : kappa? Boore & Joyner (1997)

33 Kappa dependencies on Vs30 : «rock» site are heterogeneous! Van Houtte et al., BSSA, 2011

34 Kappa dependencies on Vs30 : Kappa dependencies on Vs30 : «rock» site are heterogeneous! «rock» site are heterogeneous! Rock Hardrock

35 Van Houtte et al., 2011

36 GMPEs weaknesses : complexity, lack of physic bases, trade- off between site/path/source coefficients?

37 Beyond GMPE s? Towards simulations? Need for a probabilistic description of future earthquakes rupture properties Towards fully data-driven models (neural networks)? Need for large databases

38 Avoiding the specification of any a priori functional form, artificial neural networks (ANNs) provide fully data-driven predictive models Figure 3. Architecture of the ANNs model for PGA prediction represents the synaptic weights between the i-th neuron of the input layer and the j-th neuron in the hidden layer, the bias of the j-th neuron in the hidden layer, w o jk the synaptic weights between the j-th neuron of the hiddenb o k layer and the k-th neuron in the output layer, and the bias of the k-th neuron in the hidden layer. 38

39 The ANN approach was inspired by investigations into the structure of the human brain An ANN is made up of interconnecting artificial neurons, with the input and the hidden and output layers The synaptic weights and bias of an ANN are obtained by learning, through the training dataset, to minimize an error function equal to the sum of the squared residuals (MSE) in the output layer 39

40 KiK-net seismic database (3891 records from 398 sites and 335 earthquakes Derras et al. 2012, BSSA 40

41 Although not imposed a priori, ANN results have a number of physically sound features: clear magnitude and depth dependency of the decay of the ground motion with distance and near-fault saturation for large magnitudes, 41

42 Testing of the relative importance of the effects of independent variables on seismic ground motion sigma Figure 10. Bars represent the sensitivity of the input variables observed during the modeling. 42

43 Depth is shown to affect moderate magnitude events ground-motions in the epicentral area 43

44 The results show a clear increase in PGA with decreasing VS30 for given values of magnitude, distances, and f0. This corresponds to the classical observation that stiff-soil sites have lower acceleration than softer sites, at least at low acceleration levels 44

45 Comparison with three other recent attenuation relations derived for the Japanese region. 45

46 Special issue : Bull. Earth. Engineering A new generation of ground-motion models for Europe and the Middle East The special issue begins with a paper of Akkar et al. on the common strong-motion database used to derive all ground-motion models published in the special issue. Two of the groups (Sandıkkaya & Akkar ; Massa et al.) use random-effects regression analysis. Kuehn et al., Bora et al. and Derras et al. develop their models using novel techniques (not only SA but also Ia, SMD, CAV). Akkar et al. extend the model developed by Sandıkkaya & Akkar, for the prediction of the horizontal component of earthquake response spectra for 5% of critical damping, to other damping levels and vertical component of motion. The special issue concludes with a comparison of the response spectra predicted by the different models for various earthquake scenarios by Douglas et al. Publication : autumn

50 Will future Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Studies lead to higher levels? The epistemic uncertainty of seismicity models may be larger than what we thought... But, ground-motion models may be better calibrated : site and source specific simulations use of site monitoring to calibrate the site-specific amplification and non-ergotic (single-station) aleatory variability source and path dependency of the aleatory variability

51 Will future Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Studies lead to higher levels? The epistemic uncertainty of seismicity models may be larger than what we thought (Mmax increases) But...

52 Slight changes of the aleatory variability have a large impact on PSHA Increasing σ Bommer and Abrahamson (2006)

53 The observed variability has not decreased these last 30 years.. ~300 records ~3000 records Year σ[ln(y)] = 2.3σ[log 10 (y)] Strasser et al. (2009) 0.7 ln scale 0.3 log sc ale

54 Single station sigma : the ground-motion variability due to site-to-site variability is moved from the aleatory to the epistemic part SS Site to site variability variability within a site class (variability of site proper0es) need enough records to evaluate the site specific amplification factor! For site specific-studies only (and not PSHA maps)
