Abstract A finite-fault model with variable slip duration is inferred from strong-ground-motion data for the Loma Prieta earthquake. Unlike previous models, slip duration is found to be consistent with fault width scaling. Slip duration varies between 1 and 6 sec at points along the fault surface with values between 3 and 6 sec, where slip amplitudes obtain or exceed the average slip of 98 cm. Modest high-frequency modifications of the slip function shape greatly enhance the data fit without significantly changing the inferred static offset or rupture characteristics. This model exhibits bilateral rupture with the propagation rate of the main energy release of 3 km/sec or less. The moment is 2.3 × 1026 dyne-cm, and the largest slip amplitudes occur northwest of the hypocenter. The rake varies with position along the fault from dominantly strike slip in the southeast to dominantly reverse slip in the northwest.

Abstract Standard errors of earthquake magnitudes are routinely calculated and vary appreciably between earthquakes. However, the uncertainties of magnitude determination are usually ignored in regression models of strong ground motion as a function of magnitude and distance from the earthquake source. This practice has the potential to bias estimates of strong ground motion. A method is given for taking account of the uncertainty of each magnitude determination in fitting such models. It extends previous methods in which the error variance is partitioned into between-earthquake and within-earthquake components. It allows for further decomposition of the between-earthquake component into a part attributable to magnitude uncertainties and a part attributable to other causes. The method has been applied to the well-known attenuation data of Joyner and Boore (1981). The Mw determinations in this dataset fall into two subsets with distinctly different levels of precision, namely, those determined directly and those inferred from values of ML. It is shown that most of the between-earthquake component of variance can be attributed to the relatively low precision of the magnitudes in the latter subset.

Research on strong ground-motion characteristics conducted in the United States within the last 10 years (1974-1984) forms the basis for a detailed discussion of important factors to be considered when selecting or developing strong-motion attenuation relations for use in earthquake engineering and seismic hazard studies. While emphasis is placed on the empirical prediction of ground-motion amplitudes, a brief discussion of procedures is presented that can be used when insufficient strong-motion data are available to perform an adequate statistical analysis. The discussion is followed by a tabulated summary of selected strong-motion attenuation relations proposed and developed in the last 10 years (1974-1984) to acquaint the reader with the types of relationships currently available.
