While defining attenuation model (GMPE) Sabetta&Pugliese (1996), Epicentral Distance, how can I take into account about the factor “F” that is a function of fault types (N normal, I reverse ,SS strike-slip).

GMPEs included in R-CRISIS are defined based on author’s papers and they are not modified at all. Sabetta and Pugliese (1996) does not have focal mechanism characterization, they only take into account Soil type classification. Other GMPEs like Abrahamson and Silva (1997) does consider type of faulting. If you require this type of characterization, we suggest you to implement a different attenuation model.
