Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is equal to the maximum ground acceleration that occurred during earthquake shaking at a location. PGA is equal to the amplitude of the largest absolute acceleration recorded on an accelerogram at a site during a particular earthquake. [ 1 ]
3D structural geological modeling CGRE Institute, RWTH Aachen - Miguel de la Varga LGPL v3: Cross-platform: Python: Open-source implicit geological modeling that allows for automation of model construction and is aimed to enable the implementation of probabilistic machine-learning methods, e.g. for uncertainty analysis.
Early USGS/NEIC practice was to measure mb on the first second (just the first few P waves [32]), but since 1978 they measure the first twenty seconds. [33] The modern practice is to measure short-period mb scale at less than three seconds, while the broadband mB BB scale is measured at periods of up to 30 seconds.
A series of mixed vertical oscillators A plot of the peak acceleration for the mixed vertical oscillators. A response spectrum is a plot of the peak or steady-state response (displacement, velocity or acceleration) of a series of oscillators of varying natural frequency, that are forced into motion by the same base vibration or shock.
The JMA scale is expressed in levels of seismic intensity from 0 to 7 in a manner similar to that of the Mercalli intensity scale, which is not commonly used in Japan.The JMA uses seismic intensity meters to automatically calculate ground acceleration in real-time, reporting intensities based on measurements from observation points.

Nearly 70 million Americans rely on Social Security for monthly income. The vast majority, about 65 million, collect Social Security benefits. Another 4.5 million receive Supplemental Security ...
It has become the standard scale used by seismological authorities like the United States Geological Survey [4] for reporting large earthquakes (typically M > 4), replacing the local magnitude (M L ) and surface-wave magnitude (M s ) scales. Subtypes of the moment magnitude scale (M ww , etc.) reflect different ways of estimating the seismic ...
