On the Selection of Ground-Motion Prediction Equations for Seismic Hazard Analysis
- J. Bommer, J. Douglas, F. Scherbaum, F. Cotton, H. Bungum, D. Faeh
- Geology
- 1 September 2010
A key element in any seismic hazard analysis is the selection of appropriate ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs). In an earlier paper, focused on the selection and adjustment of ground-motion… Expand

- D. Faeh, Fortunat Kind, D. Giardini
- Mathematics
- 1 May 2001
SUMMARY The mode summation method and a finite difference technique are applied to investigate the spectral ratio between the horizontal and vertical components (H/V ratio) of ambient vibrations and… Expand

H/V ratio: a tool for site effects evaluation. Results from 1-D noise simulations
- S. Bonnefoy-Claudet, C. Cornou, +4 authors D. Faeh
- Physics
- 1 November 2006
SUMMARY Ambient vibration techniques such as the H/V method may have the potential to significantly contribute to site effect evaluation, particularly in urban areas. Previous studies interpret the… Expand
Automatic computation of moment magnitudes for small earthquakes and the scaling of local to moment magnitude
- B. Edwards, Bettina P. Allmann, D. Faeh, J. Clinton
- Physics, Geology
- 1 October 2010
SUMMARY Moment magnitudes (M W) are computed for small and moderate earthquakes using a spectral fitting method. 40 of the resulting values are compared with those from broadband moment tensor… Expand
Attenuation of seismic shear wave energy in Switzerland
- B. Edwards, D. Faeh, D. Giardini
- Geology
- 1 May 2011
SUMMARY
Modelling the attenuation of shear wave energy is an important component of seismic hazard analysis. Previous studies have shown how attenuation, particularly in the uppermost layers of… Expand

- D. Faeh, F. Kind, D. Giardini
- Physics
- 1 October 2003
H/V spectral ratios from microtremors areused to retrieve the S-velocity structurefrom a single ambient vibration record, byusing its relation to the ellipticity ofthe fundamental mode Rayleigh wave… Expand
A New Empirical Magnitude Scaling Relation for Switzerland
- B. P. Goertz-Allmann, B. Edwards, +4 authors D. Giardini
- Mathematics
- 1 December 2011
Abstract We estimate moment magnitudes M w for earthquakes in Switzerland recorded between 1998 and 2009 using three different spectral methods. The M w estimation in Switzerland is extended to lower… Expand
A Stochastic Ground‐Motion Model for Switzerland
- B. Edwards, D. Faeh
- Geography, Geology
- 1 February 2013
Abstract We present a stochastic ground‐motion model for Switzerland. A model for the far‐field Fourier amplitude spectra of earthquakes is first proposed, constrained by ground motions observed from… Expand
