Sand Box Guide: Earthquake Hazard Analysis

Posted on November 6, 2024April 25, 2026 By geoeditor

The Sand Box is designed to conduct hazard analysis for two virtual crustal earthquakes. It is designed to enable users to examine the impacts of different source, path, and local site conditions on earthquakes’ ground motion (GM), response spectral (RS), and hazard analysis results.

The source parameters are controlled by

  • Earthquake magnitude
  • Earthquake recurrence interval
  • Rupture geometry:
    • Dipping angle
    • Width
  • Rupture mechanism:
    • Strike-slip
    • Reverse
    • Normal

The site condition
