Tóm tắt

A straightforward procedure is suggested for statistical estimation of maximum peak ground acceleration, Amax (T), that will occur at a given point of a seismic region in future time period T. This procedure is based on the Bayesian approach and includes estimation of three unknown parameters;b, the slope of acceleration-frequency law; α, the maximum regression acceleration; λ, the rate of significant accelerations at the point under question. Uncertainty characteristics of Amax (T)-estimates as well as of all estimated parameters are given. The suggested approach is illustrated for two sites in Southern California.
