Electronic Supplement to
Empirical Estimation of High-Frequency Ground Motion on Hard Rock

by Olga-Joan Ktenidou and Norman A. Abrahamson

This electronic supplement contains tables of total residuals (in natural log units) at different frequencies computed for the Next Generation Attenuation-East Project (NGA-East) dataset with respect to the Hollenback model and VS scaling of the Hollenback ground-motion prediction equation (GMPE) for NGA-East.

Tables

Table S1 [plain text comma-separated values; ~104 KB]. List of records by station and event used for the Swiss (PRP) data. This table gives the earthquake ID (year, month, day, and time in hours, minutes, and seconds) and the station name for all records considered for Switzerland (PRP dataset).

Table S2 [plain text comma-separated values; ~29 KB]. Total residuals (in natural log units) at different frequencies computed for the NGA-East dataset with respect to the Hollenback model. Columns 1–5 give the record sequence number, magnitude, epicentral and rupture distances and VS30 values per record. Columns 6–8 and 9–11 give the flag, κ value, and its standard deviation for the acceleration spectrum (AS) and the displacement spectrum (DS) approach, respectively. Columns 12 onward give the total residuals (in ln units) at various frequencies. Residuals are computed for the NGA-East dataset with respect to the Hollenback model.

Table S3 [plain text comma-separated values; ~22 KB]. Total residuals computed for the BCHydro dataset with respect to the model of Chiou and Youngs (2014). Columns 1–4 give the record sequence number, magnitude, rupture distances, and VS30 values per record. Columns 5 onward give the total residuals (in ln units) at various frequencies. Residuals are computed for the BCHydro dataset with respect to the model of Chiou and Youngs (2014).

Table S4 [plain text comma-separated values; ~1 KB]. VS scaling of the Hollenback GMPE for NGA-East. This table gives the values of coefficient c8 in equation (3.1) of Al Atik (2015) at different frequencies.
