Abstract
Due to a heightened interest in the field of earthquakes after two moderately sized earthquakes occurred in Gyeongju and Pohang, this study explores which ground motion prediction equations are compatible for the South Korea region. Due to data availability, ground motions from five earthquakes of moderate magnitude were used for comparing against selected ground motion models. Median rotated response spectral ordinates at a period of 0.2 s were extracted from these ground motions, which served as a basis for comparison. Twelve ground motion models were considered from the Next Generation Attenuation West, West2, and East programs due to their extensive databases and robust analytical techniques. A comparison of relative residuals, z-score, and each event found that the subset of Next Generation Attenuation—East ground motion prediction equations did not perform as well as the suite of Next Generation Attenuation—West2 ground motion prediction equations, most likely due to the regional simulations involved in developing the database. Interestingly, the ground motion models that performed relatively well were from the set designed for rock conditions.
