I want to get a seismic hazard map for period T= 0s (i.e. for PGA). However, the minimum value of T is 0.01s in CRISIS software. Can anyone help me with this?

Dear Falak,

For the most of GMPEs, R-CRISIS considers T=0.01s as PGA (i.e. T=0.0s). R-CRISIS does not allow periods equal to zero for programing reasons.

To be sure of that, please specify which attenuation models you are using and I can verify, for each model, which period is interpreted as PGA.

Sorry for the problems this causes to you.

 

Thank you for your preference and interest in R-CRISIS.

 

Best regards,

Hello, does Akkar and Boomer (2010) calculate PGA for T=0?

Thank you for the help! 

Right now I am using Sharma et al. (2009).

Thanks and Regards.

Dear Nikos,

I have checked the Akkar and Boomer (2010) class and it does calculate PGA as T=0.0s.

I hope this helps you to solve your doubts.

Hello, and thank you for your help. Can you please also verify the following GMPEs? 

Idriss (2014) NGA-WEST 2

Cauzzi and Faccioli (2008)

Boore and Atkinson (2008) NGA

I am interested in the spectral period in which they calculate PGA (T=0 or T=0.01?)

Thank you in Advance.

Dear Nikos,

This information is available in the GMPE brief description, this is an example:

The lower limit is interpreted as PGA if the dimension is the acceleration; if the dimension is velocity, the lower limit is interpreted as PGV.

 

I hope this solves your question.

 

Thank you for your preference and interest in R-CRISIS.
