Session ID#: 17958

Session Description:
Accurate modeling of earthquake strong ground motions is a critical component of engineering seismology that is required to understand recorded ground motions and to forecast potential ground-shaking. The increasing interest within the earth science and earthquake engineering communities in the use of simulated ground motions for seismic hazard and risk analysis requires a multidisciplinary approach to understanding earthquake rupture and wave propagation. We aim to bring together researchers engaged in observational, numerical, and experimental studies of the earthquake rupture and wave propagation processes. We invite presentations on all topics informing earthquake ground motion modeling, including applications of numerical ground motion simulations; experimental rock mechanics; studies of earthquake source parameters; and modeling of path and site effects.
