The aim of this work is to develop a fully non-ergodic ground motion prediction model (FNE-GMPM) that provides functional forms (ffs) for each of the world's 13 regions. The ffs are derived from machine learning of a given dataset drawn from four databases: namely RESIF-RAP, ESM, RESORCE and NGA-West2. The machine learning is performed by the neural network approach whose explanatory parameters are the moment magnitude (MW), Joyner-Boore distance RJB, average shear wave velocity in the first 30 m VS30, nature of VS30: (measured or estimated) and the focal Depth. The model thus established estimates the ground motion intensity measures (GMIMs). These GMIMs are represented by the peak ground acceleration and the peak ground velocity PGA and PGV respectively, as well as 5 as well as the 13-period acceleration pseudo-spectra from 0.04 to 4.00 s (PSA) for a damping of 5%. The 13 regions subject of this study are distinguished by their epistemic uncertainties. The aleatory variability is considered as heteroscedastic depending on the MW and the RJB. The consideration of the non-ergodicity of the heteroscedasticity and using the machine learning approach leads to a significant reduction of the aleatory variability. This work makes it possible to have strong motions for regions with low and moderate seismicity, such as metropolitan France.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
