Abstract:<p>A seismic hazard analysis was conducted for a site in Papua New Guinea which is located in a seismically-active region that experiences frequent large earthquakes generated by crustal and subduction sources. &#160;A suite of ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) was developed for each source type (crustal, interface and in-slab) using the scaled-backbone approach. &#160;To this end, a ground-motion database consisting of events of 4.0<Mw<8.0 was compiled from… Show more
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.
