Abstract
An earthquake of magnitude ML = 4.3 occurred near Napierville, Quebec, on November 16, 1993. An accelerograph at the liquefaction, storage, and regasification plant of Gaz Metropolitain in Montreal, about 55 km from the epicentre, recorded the ground motion. Although the maximum accelerations and velocities from this event are small, the acceleration time histories do confirm the high energy content in the very short period range. The recorded ground motion and corresponding absolute acceleration response spectra are presented and various attenuation relationships, proposed for eastern North America, are utilized to compare the measured and predicted ground motion parameters. Key words: Napierville earthquake, attenuation relationships, acceleration spectra, strong motion records.
