1 PEER RVT approach: Duration Model Nicolas Kuehn Norm Abrahamson, Christine Goulet, Justin Hollenback Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center NGA East Workshop 30 October 2014

2 Motivation To calculate response spectral values from the FAS, a duration D is needed. Several duration measures exist in the literature (D 5 95,D 20 80,...) For the purpose of prediction of PSA, we are not interested in the value of D itself. choose duration that provides best PSA prediction. cf. Atkinson (1993); Bora et al. (2014) Kuehn et al (PEER) PEER RVT approach: Duration Model NGA East WS 2 / 19

3 RVT y max = p f y rms y rms = m 0 /D rms D = D rms with p f peak factor, m k spectral moments. Invert for D. misfit function: (lnsa lny max ) 2 Kuehn et al (PEER) PEER RVT approach: Duration Model NGA East WS 3 / 19

4 Inversion Input: downsampled and smoothed FAS calculate spectral moments PSA Inversion: minimize misfit w.r.t. D The inverted duration is not a physical duration. It is a parameter that ensures that the PSA prediction using RVT (given all assumptions) is optimal. Kuehn et al (PEER) PEER RVT approach: Duration Model NGA East WS 4 / 19

Two regions (East/West) are considered. δ a k (r) N(0,σ ak ) (1) Kuehn et al (PEER) PEER RVT approach: Duration Model NGA East WS 10 / 19

15 Regression Most events are small and recorded at large distances source terms are small compared to path terms Regression is done in two steps. 1 Data up to 50 km is used to fix magnitude scaling (a 1 ). 2 In a second step, the rest of the parameters are estimated using all data. Regression is done by Bayesian inference via MCMC using the program Stan. priors on parameters ara normal distributions N(0, 10) priors on standard deviations are half-cuachy distributions Kuehn et al (PEER) PEER RVT approach: Duration Model NGA East WS 11 / 19

26 Discussion Duration treated as parameter of model to match PSA via RVT. Magnitude scaling constrained by Western data. Small distance scaling constrained by Western data. Multiplicative model works good. To do: Impact of duration model uncertainty on PSA predictions. To do: Calibrate duration model using model FAS Regional model for all different regions?
