Abstract
The NGA‐West2 project is a large multidisciplinary, multi‐year research program on the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) models for shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regions. The research project has been coordinated by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), with extensive technical interactions among many individuals and organizations. NGA‐West2 addresses several key issues in ground‐motion seismic hazard, including updating the NGA database for a magnitude range of 3.0–7.9; updating NGA ground‐motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for the “average” horizontal component; scaling response spectra for damping values other than 5%; quantifying the effects of directivity and…
