Abstract

The investigations presented in this paper were aimed at empirical definition of ground motion under Vrancea earthquakes. They were based on the recorded accelerogrammes from the occurred strong Vrancea earthquakes of 1977, 1986 and 1990 obtained from the accelerographs installed in the territory of former Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria. A methodological approach to empirical prediction of ground motion parameters under strong earthquake effects was developed and empirical attenuation laws of horizontal peak ground acceleration (PGA) were defined.
