Database of earthquake ground motions from 3-D simulations on the Salt Lake City of the Wasatch fault zone, Utah

May 5, 2017

This dataset consists of the processed ground motions from 96 earthquake rupture scenarios for M7 earthquakes on the Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault. Details about the simulation method, ground motion variability and sensitivity of the ground motions to the kinematic rupture parameters are described in the accompanying manuscript. Simulated data is distributed as 5-percent damped response spectral accelerations that support the conclusions of the accompanying manuscript.
