Empirical ground motion models for the average horizontal component from

shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regions are derived using the PEER

NGA-West2 database. The model is applicable to magnitudes 3.0–8.5, distances

0–300 km, and spectral periods of 0–10 s. The model input parameters are the

same as those used by Abrahamson and Silva (2008), with the following exceptions:

the loading level for nonlinear effects is based on the spectral acceleration

at the period of interest rather than the PGA; and the distance scaling for hanging

wall (HW) effects off the ends of the rupture includes a dependence on the sourceto-

site azimuth. Regional differences in large-distance attenuation and VS30 scaling

between California, Japan, China, and Taiwan are included. The scaling for

the HW effect is improved using constraints from numerical simulations. The

standard deviation is magnitude-dependent, with smaller magnitudes leading

to larger standard deviations at short periods, but smaller standard deviations

at long periods. Directivity effects are not included through explicit parameters,

but are captured through the variability of the empirical data. [DOI: 10.1193/
