With funding from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and in collaboration with the US Geological Survey (USGS) and national experts, the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center has initiated a comprehensive multidisciplinary program to develop Next Generation Attenuation Relationships for the Central and Eastern North-America (NGA-East). This follows on the very successful multi-institution, multi-investigator, multi-sponsor collaborative Next Generation Attenuation Relationship (NGA-West) program (originally referred to as NGA), which developed new ground motion prediction models for the western United States.
In the NGA-East program, the objective is to develop a new set of comprehensive and broadly accepted attenuation relationships for the Central and Eastern North-America (CENA). To support the NGA-East attenuation modelers, several sets of supporting projects will be defined, initiated, and coordinated. These include development of a ground motion database, and supporting computer simulation studies.
