The Prediction of Strong Ground Motion

The prediction of motion for use in engineering design must rely both on empirical and theoretical methods. The methods complement on another, for the empirical analyses provide checks on the theory and help to determine the parameters necessary in the theoretical predictions. In this paper, I will give short discussions of both the empirical and theoretical methods for predicting strong motion that I and my colleagues have been doing over the last several years.
