What is Understanding Effective Peak Ground Acceleration about?

1) Effective Peak Ground Acceleration (EPGA) is a measure used to estimate the strength of ground shaking at a site from an earthquake. It is calculated using the site class modified maximum considered earthquake (MCER) response acceleration parameter and gravitational acceleration. 2) Earthquake energy released is calculated using a logarithmic function of earthquake magnitude. Larger earthquakes release exponentially more energy. 3) Structural period is the time taken for a structure to complete one cy
