2 Single station sigma: overview A Ground Motion Prediction Equation (GMPE) ln(y) = f(m, R, Site, etc ) + ln(y) : median prediction : residual mean() = stdev( = tot 3 Breakdown of total sigma Residual component Standard deviation B e : event term (aleatoric) (aleatoric) W es : within event residual Required Data Global: Multiple recordings (surface) at different sites from EQ in multiple source regions 2

3 From Al Atik et al. (21) 5 Further breakdown Residual component S2S s : site term Standard deviation S2S (epistemic) Required Data Site specific: Multiple recordings (surface) at different WS es : site and sites from EQ in eventcorrected (aleatoric) SS residual multiple source regions Multiple recordings at individual sites 3

4 Example: Japanese KiKnet data, Sa(T=) 2 =51 W es -2 Station Number 2 S2S =28 - S2S s 2 =79 S2S s -2 Station Number WS es = W es -2 Station Number From Rodriguez-Marek et al. (21) 7 Note: S2S : site to site variability bl (after (f correction for site class in GMPE): spatial : single station within event variability: temporal Assumption: Standard deviation across spatial extent (across sites) is weighted equally to standard deviation across time: ergodic assumption * 8 4

5 Single station standard deviation: At a single site, S2S s is predictable (deterministic) SS : single station standard deviation Since ergodic assumption is removed: Partially non ergodic 9 MOTIVATION FOR USE OF SINGLE STATION SIGMA 12 5

7 Motivation for partially ergodic PSHA Single station within event standard deviation () is less variable ibl across regions than Use of global datasets? Site response analyses: An exercise in estimating S2S s (and its uncertainty) If S2S is not removed: double counting uncertainty 15 Cost of partially ergodic PSHA Any term for which ergodicity is removed must be estimated t To do this: We must estimate S2S s (implies also estimate of its epistemic uncertainty) 16 7

9 Preliminary observations Decomposition into within event and between event (intra and inter event) event) residuals is possible No correlation between B e and W es estimates from regional dataset are more stable (e.g., no restriction on records per station) Develop only the intra event component ( ) 22 PROPOSED MODELS: DATABASE USED 23 9

17 Methodology to determine values a) A Random Effects regression was run using the entire database ofwithin event residuals for stations with 5 or more recordings. A constant model was assumed. The Random Effects give the site terms (S2S s ). S2S s computed with records for M < 4.5 b) The within event residuals were corrected with the S2S s term obtained in Step a c) Phi models were fitted to site corrected withinevent residuals (WS es ) Tabulated values of models A, B and C R dependent Model Period Rc1 Rc

19 Methodology to determine values: M R dependent model Corner magnitudes were determined first using a similar approach to that described for the distance dependent model. Mc2 was forced to be equal to 7. even when data indicated that a sharper drop from Mc1 to Mc2. This resulted in a change of 12 and 22 values. Once the values of Mc1 and Mc2 were set, the distancedependence was obtained using the same approach as for the distance dependent model but using only data for M<Mc1. Once Mc1, Mc2, Rc1, and Rc2 were fixed, a maximum likelihood regression was run to obtain the values of the remaining parameters.

33 California data The California dataset used in this study consists of ground motion data from the Abrahamson and Silva (28) NGA dataset and small to moderate magnitude California data used for the small magnitude extension of the Chiou and Youngs (28) NGA model (Chiou et al., 21) at peak ground acceleration (PGA) and at periods of and 1 second. The Abrahamson and Silva (28) data are part of the NGA West dataset. The small to moderate magnitude data used in Chiou et al. (21) were obtained from ShakeMap. Between event residuals and within event residuals of these two California datasets were obtained by separately fitting the large magnitude and small to moderate magnitude datasets with the Abrahamson and Silva (28) GMPE and with the Chiou et al. (21) GMPE, respectively. 76 Switzerland The Swiss dataset used in this study consists of filtered and site corrected acceleration time series of Swiss Foreland events used in developing the stochastic ground motion model for Switzerland (Edwards et al., 21). The acceleration time series were filtered using a variable corner frequency acausal Butterworth filter and site corrected to correspond to the Swiss reference rock condition. A detailed description of the Swiss dataset is given in Edwards et al. (21). Recordings from co located stations were removed from the dataset and response spectra of the remaining recordings were computed using the Nigam and Jennings (1969) algorithm. Only recordings from events with more than 5 recordings and at stations with more than 5 recordings were used in this analysis. The form of the GMPE used to fit the Swiss data is discussed in Douglas (29) and is described as: 2 ln log( ) 5 y b b M b M b Rhypo b Rhypo The random effects algorithm developed by Abrahamson and Youngs (1992) was used to calculate the parameters of the GMPE fit to the Swiss dataset and to obtain the between event and within event residuals

34 Japan The Japanese data used in this study is data downloaded from the KiK net network website and is described in Pousse et al. (25), Pousse et al. (26), and Cotton et al. (28). Only records between 1996 and October 24 with were used. In addition, only records with hypocenter depth less than 25 km were used in order to avoid subduction related events. The M JMA was converted to seismic moment magnitude using the Fukushima (1996) relationship (Cotton et al. 28). Data processing is described in Pousse et al. (25) and Cotton et al. (28). Cotton et al. (28) states that the longest usable period for the data set is 3. s. However, some of the spectral accelerations at long periods are lower than the number of decimals in the data set. For that reason, only spectral periods up to 1. s are used in this work. Closest distance to the rupture was assumed to correspond to hypocentral distance for small to moderate earthquakes or when the source dimensions remain unknown. For larger earthquakes, a closest distance to the fault was computed. A peculiarity in the development of the GMPE for the KiK net data is that both records from the surface and borehole stations were used (with appropriate site terms). This implies that the event terms and magnitude scaling was constrained both by surface and borehole data (Rodriguez Marek et al. 211). The site term uses Vs3 as the site parameter and includes only a linear amplification term. Parameters of the GMPE equation were obtained using the Random Effects regression of Abrahamson and Youngs (1992) 78 Taiwan The Taiwan dataset used in this study consists of ground motion data from shallow earthquakes that occurred in and near Taiwan from 1992 to 23. This dataset was assembled by Lin (29) and the ground motion recordings were baseline corrected and limited to distances of less than 2 km. The 1999 Chi Chi earthquake was excluded from the dataset. A more detailed description of the Taiwan data is given in Lin et al. (211). Within event and betweenevent residuals of the Taiwan dataset were computed using a mixed effects effects algorithm with respect to a revised version of the Chiou and Youngs (28) model. Only stations with at least 1 recordings were used to calculate the site terms

35 Turkey The Turkish data used in this study is compiled within the framework of the project entitled Compilation of Turkish strong motion network according to the international standards. The procedures followed to assemble the database are described in Akkar et al. (21) and Sandıkkaya et al. (21). The dataset comprises of events with depths less than 3 km. Each event in the dataset has at least 5 recordings. The distance measure is Joyner Boore distance metric for all recordings. For small events (i.e., M w 5.5) epicentral distance is assumed to approximate Joyner Boore distance. The dataset is processed (band pass acausal filtering) by the method described in Akkar and Bommer (26). The same article also describes a set of criteria for computing the usable spectral period range that is used to define the maximum usable period for each processed record. The database consists of very few recordings with V S3 > 76 m/s (where Vs3 is the average shear wave velocity over the upper 3 m of a profile) and almost all events are either strike slip or normal. The database contains 239 recordings but this number is reduced to 26 at T = 3. s due usable period range criteria in Akkar and Bommer (26). Regression analysis is conducted using the above dataset to derive a set of GMPEs for the analysis of within event residuals. A one stage maximum likelihood regression method (Joyner and Boore, 1993) is employed while developing the GMPEs. The model estimates the geometric mean of the ground motion. The functional form is the same one that is presented in Akkar and Çağnan (21). It is capable of capturing magnitude saturation and magnitudedependent geometrical spreading. Site effects are considered using a function of Vs3 that also includes nonlinearity. 8 35
