The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) has completed phase 1 of its Broadband Platform (BBP) ground‐motion simulation results, evaluating the potential applications for engineering of the resulting 0.01–10 s pseudospectral accelerations (PSAs) generated by five different methods. The exercise included part A, in which the methods were evaluated based on the bias of simulation results to observations for 12 well‐recorded historical earthquakes: 7 in the western United States, 2 in Japan, and 3 in the eastern United States/Canada. In addition, part B evaluated simulation results for Mw 5.5, 6.2, and 6.6 scenarios at 20 and 50 km from the...
