This leads to ... Explanation: preparation of spectral parametral maps for acceleration or velocity for different response periods -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-23 13:42:56 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or maybe \"spectral parameter maps\". Following for info. <<Abstract: A probabilistic ground shaking hazard map integrates the parametric contributions of the source-path-site continuum and portrays the spatial and temporal variations of a selected ground shaking parameter. At present, the trend is toward constructing maps of the spectral acceleration for short periods (e.g., 0.2 second) and long periods (e.g., 1.0 second). Each value of the ground shaking parameter (such as the peak amplitude of ground acceleration, the value of spectral acceleration at a specific period, or the Modified Mercalli intensity) is calculated at every point on a grid by summing the contributions of all the earthquake sources for all the possible magnitudes, and all the possible source-to-site distances. The value of the ground shaking parameter at each point on the grid, integrates a specific exposure time (e.g., 50 years), a specific probability of exceedance (e.g., 2-percent or 10-percent), and a specific site geology (e.g., bedrock, stiff soil, or soft soil). More than one map is required to characterize the ground-shaking hazard completely. Probabilistic ground shaking maps are being implemented for use in model building codes, disaster scenarios, risk assessments, loss estimation, and seismic zonation.
