Ground Motion Prediction Equations – GMPE

Within the Component 2 of the CRONOS project, we plan to develop ground motion prediction equations (GMPE) for Croatia. Deriving a GMPE requires a high-quality dataset of earthquake ground motions covering a wide magnitude and distance range. The joint dataset of recorded and simulated ground motions (due to a lack of ground motion data for high-magnitude events), as well as other defined parameters, will be used to derive a new GMPE through a hybrid empirical model (HEM). The HEM is a procedure to develop GMPEs or ground motion intensity measures (GMIM) in areas with sparse ground motion. It uses stochastically simulated GMIMs in the host and target regions to develop adjustment factors applied to empirical GMIM predictions in the host region.

GMPEs will be available on this website…
