This book contains selected papers presented at the NATO Advanced
Study Institute on "Strong Ground Motion Seismology," held in
Ankara, Turkey between June 10 and 21, 1985. The strong ground
motion resulting from a major earthquake determines the level of
the seismic hazard to enable earthquake engineers to assess the
structural performance and the consecutive risks to the property
and life, as well as providing detailed information to
seismologists about its source mechanism. From the earthquake
engineering point the main problem is the specification of a design
level ground motion for a given source-site-structure-economic life
and risk combination through deterministic and probabilistic
approaches. In seismology the strong motion data provide the high
frequency information to determine the rupture process and the
complexity of the source mechanism. The effects of the propagation
path on the strong ground motion is a research area receiving sub
stantial attenuation both from earthquake engineers and
seismologists. The Institute provided a venue for the treatment of
the subject matter by a series of lectures on earthquake source
models and near field theories; effects of propagation paths and
site conditions, numerical and empirical methods for prediction;
data acquisition and analysis; hazard assessment and engineering
application."
