    The document discusses a ground motion prediction equation developed by Cornell et al. in 1979 for the Western US to estimate peak horizontal acceleration (PHA) in gals based on magnitude (M) and distance (R), where the constants are a = 6.74, b = 0.859, c = -1.80, and the standard deviation is 0.57. It was developed using records from earthquakes where no more than 7 records came from a single event, and the records came from basements or free-field sites to avoid bias.

    Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPE’s)

    Cornell et al. (1979) [Contd…]


    where, PGA is in cms−2 (gals), a = 6.74, b = 0.859, c = −1.80 and
    σ = 0.57.
    Developed for Western US.
    No more than 7 records from one earthquake to avoid biasing
    results.
    Records from basements of buildings or free-field.
    Attenuation relationship developed by Cornell et al. (1979) for
    Western US.

    Ln(PHA)(gals)=6.74 + 0.859M-1.8ln(R+25)
