摘要
The ground-motion models provided by me to the Next Generation Attenuation-East (NGA-East) project in 2015 have been updated by considering three additional Fourier spectra attenuation models and by conducting a mixed-effect analysis of the residuals between the ground-motion intensity measures computed from the attenuation models and the data from nine relatively well-recorded events in eastern North America. On the basis of the period trends of the bias in the residuals and the distance trends of the residuals, I recommend the ground-motion models developed for these attenuation models, with equal weights: the BCA10D model with 1/R geometrical spreading at all distances, and two modifications of the Atkinson and Boore (2014; referred as AB14) model, with 1/R spreading within 10 km, 1/R-1.3 spreading from 10 to 50 km, and 1/root R spreading beyond 50 km.
