Assessment of potential ground motions in seismically active regions is essential for purposes of seismic design and analysis. In regions of sparse or no strong ground motion records, ground motion simulations provide physics-based synthetic records. These simulations provide not only the earthquake engineering parameters but also give insight into the mechanisms of the earthquakes. This book presents strong ground motion simulations in three regions of intense seismic activity, namely Duzce, L'Aquila and Erzincan. In this study, stochastic finite-fault simulation methodology is utilized to...
