SEA99 - Ground Motion Prediction Relation


SEA99

The ground motion prediction relation SEA96 has been superseded by a new relation SEA99. SEA99 should be used in preference to SEA96. SEA99 was derived from a larger data set than was SEA96, minor errors in the SEA96 data set were corrected in the SEA99 data set, and an improved analysis method was used to derive the SEA99 coefficients. The relation SEA99 is published in: 

"SEA99 - A Revised Ground Motion Prediction Relation for Use in Extensional Tectonic Regimes," by Spudich, P.; Joyner, W. B.; Lindh, A. G.; Boore, D. M.; Margaris, B. M.; Fletcher, J. B., Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1999, v. 89, pp. 1156 - 1170. 

The regression coefficients for ground motion prediction relation SEA99 can be downloaded below in either ascii text or Excel formats:
