... and 1400  m/s, recorded during the 2012 Ahar–Varzaghan dual earthquakes (Mw1 6.4, Mw2 6.3) were taken into account to examine the predictive capabilities of the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) ground‐motion prediction equations (GMPEs) via a set of comparative analyses and tests. The first‐applied method...

...M. R. Soghrat; M. Ziyaeifar AbstractThe importance of the vertical component of ground motion in damage infliction on a variety of structural systems has been shown in recent years. However, the available models for ground‐motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for this component of earthquakes...

The two NGA models applied in the present study can...

As a result, I propose that the GMPE of Campbell and Bozorgnia (2014) can be used to estimate ground motions from moderate‐to‐large‐magnitude earthquakes in pan‐Europe as a means of more...
