2 (Brune) Dynamic stress drop can be viewed as a modeling parameter that determines the strength of high- frequency radiafon in the ground- mofons Δτ = 200bars Δτ = 100bars Δτ = 100bars Δτ = 200bars Boore,

3 Ground- mofon simulafons all depend, directly or indirectly, on the selected dynamic stress drop (Δτ) and its distribufon. PGA Δτ = 100bars Δτ = 200bars Boore,

4 QuesFon 1. What is the variability of the stress drop? Allmann & Shearer 2009

5 QuesFon 2. Are stress- drop magnitude- dependent? Edward and Faeh, 2013

6 QuesFon 3: do mainshock and a]ershocks have the same stress- drop?

7 Why is it so difficult? Uncertainty in stress drop is dominated by uncertainty in the corner frequency

8 Fourier Amplitude Spectrum Why is it so difficult? Strong trade- off between the corner frequency and a+enuafon (kappa, fmax) for small earthquakes Frequency, Hz Mw=4.5 stress drop=1.0 (1e5 MPa) Kappa=0.03 (s) Mw=4.5 stress drop=10.0 (1e5 MPa) Kappa=0.03 (s) Mw=4.5 stress drop=100.0 (1e5 MPa) Kappa=0.03 (s) Mw=5.5 stress drop=1.0 (1e5 MPa) Kappa=0.03 (s) Mw=5.5 stress drop=10.0 (1e5 MPa) Kappa=0.03 (s) Mw=5.5 stress drop=100.0 (1e5 MPa) Kappa=0.03 (s) Mw=6.5 stress drop=1.0 (1e5 MPa) Kappa=0.03 (s) Mw=6.5 stress drop=10.0 (1e5 MPa) Kappa=0.03 (s) Mw=6.5 stress drop=100.0 (1e5 MPa) Kappa=0.03 (s)

37 Conclusions Stress- drop, like ground- mofon accelerafons, is following a log- normal distribufon (σln(δτ) 0.5) Stress- drop, determined by classical source studies, has greater uncertainty than that implied by accelerometric data and GMPE s Stress- drop variafons have a significant impact on parfal derivafve of accelerometric ground- mofons (response spectrum) in funcfon of magnitude (frequency range 2-7Hz) NGA- west2 a]ershocks and mainshocks ground- mofons show the same magnitude scaling Our results do not confirm a stress- drop increase for Mw<4.5 but rather suggest an increase of stress- drop for earthquakes of magnitude larger than 5.0
