Kurzfassung:
A new approach for creating a non-ergodic pseudo-spectral acceleration ( PSA ) ground-motion model (GMM) is presented, which accounts for the magnitude dependence of the non-ergodic effects. In this approach, the average PSA scaling is controlled by an ergodic PSA GMM, and the non-ergodic effects are captured with non-ergodic PSA factors, which are the adjustment that needs to be applied to an ergodic PSA GMM to incorporate the non-ergodic effects. The non-ergodic PSA factors are based on the effective amplitude spectrum ( EAS ) non-ergodic effects and are converted to PSA through Random Vibration Theory (RVT). The advantage of this approach is that it better captures the non-ergodic source, path, and site effects through small-magnitude earthquakes. Due to the linear properties of the Fourier Transform, the EAS non-ergodic effects of the small events can be applied directly to the large magnitude events. This is not the case for PSA , as response spectra are controlled by a range of frequencies, making PSA non-ergodic effects dependent on the spectral shape, which in turn is magnitude-dependent. Two PSA non-ergodic GMMs are derived using the ASK14 (Abrahamson et al. in Earthq Spectra 30:1025–1055, 2014) and CY14 (Chiou and Youngs in Earthq Spectra 30:1117–1153, 2014) GMMs as backbone models, respectively. The non-ergodic EAS effects are estimated with the LAK21 (Lavrentiadis et al. in Bull Earthq Eng ) GMM. The RVT calculations are performed with the V75 (Vanmarcke in ASCE Mech Eng Mech Division 98:425–446, 1972) peak factor model, the $$D_{a0.05-0.85}$$ D a 0.05 - 0.85 estimate of AS96 (Abrahamson and Silva in Apendix A: empirical ground motion models, description and validation of the stochastic ground motion model. Tech. rep.,. Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York) for the ground-motion duration, and BT15 (Boore and Thompson in Bull Seismol Soc Am 105:1029–1041, 2015) oscillator-duration model. The California subset of the NGAWest2 database (Ancheta et al. in Earthq Spectra 30:989–1005, 2014) is used to fit both models. The total aleatory standard deviation of each of the two non-ergodic PSA GMMs is approximately $$25\%$$ 25 % smaller than the total aleatory standard deviation of the corresponding ergodic PSA GMMs. This reduction has a significant impact on hazard calculations at large return periods. In remote areas, far from stations and past events, the reduction of aleatory variability is accompanied by an increase in epistemic uncertainty.
