Abstract
Maximum accelerations recorded on rock sites during earthquakes in the western part of the United States are summarized, and attenuation curves showing the decrease in maximum acceleration with increasing distance from the zone of energy release are developed for different magnitude earthquakes. Changes in acceleration level and predominant periods of rock motions with distance are also analyzed. The significance of maximum acceleration level as an indicator of intensity of ground shaking is discussed.
