A Framework to Quantitatively Assess and Enhance the Seismic Resilience of Communities

Michel Bruneau, Stephanie E. Chang, Ronald T. Eguchi et al. · 1 Nov 2003

This paper presents a conceptual framework to define seismic resilience of communities and quantitative measures of resilience that can be useful for a coordinated research effort focusing on enhancing this resilience. This framework relies on the complementary measures of resilience: “Reduced failure probabilities,” “Reduced consequences from failures,” and “Reduced time to recovery.” The framework also…

NGA‐West2 Equations for Predicting PGA, PGV, and 5% Damped PSA for Shallow Crustal Earthquakes

David M. Boore, Jonathan P. Stewart, Emel Seyhan et al. · 8 Nov 2013

We provide ground motion prediction equations for computing medians and standard deviations of average horizontal component intensity measures (IMs) for shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regions. The equations were derived from a global database with M 3.0–7.9 events. We derived equations for the primary M ‐ and distance‐dependence of the IMs after fixing the…

Ground‐Motion Prediction Equations for the Average Horizontal Component of PGA, PGV, and 5%‐Damped PSA at Spectral Periods between 0.01 <i>s</i> and 10.0 <i>s</i>

David M. Boore, Gail M. Atkinson · 1 Feb 2008

This paper contains ground‐motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for average horizontal‐component ground motions as a function of earthquake magnitude, distance from source to site, local average shear‐wave velocity, and fault type. Our equations are for peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and 5%‐damped pseudo‐absolute‐acceleration spectra (PSA) at periods between 0.01 s and 10 s…

NGA‐West2 Database

Timothy D Ancheta, Robert B. Darragh, Jonathan P. Stewart et al. · 10 Feb 2014

The NGA‐West2 project database expands on its predecessor to include worldwide ground motion data recorded from shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regimes post‐2000 and a set of small‐to‐moderate‐magnitude earthquakes in California between 1998 and 2011. The database includes 21,336 (mostly) three‐component records from 599 events. The parameter space covered by the database is M…

Efficient Analytical Fragility Function Fitting Using Dynamic Structural Analysis

Jack W. Baker · 15 Apr 2014

Estimation of fragility functions using dynamic structural analysis is an important step in a number of seismic assessment procedures. This paper discusses the applicability of statistical inference concepts for fragility function estimation, describes appropriate fitting approaches for use with various structural analysis strategies, and studies how to fit fragility functions while minimizing the required number…

Earthquake Spectra template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Earthquake Spectra format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Earthquake Spectra template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official SAGE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Earthquake Spectra use?
Earthquake Spectra uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Earthquake Spectra, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Earthquake Spectra?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready Earthquake Spectra document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Earthquake Spectra template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Earthquake Spectra format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Earthquake Spectra?
Earthquake Spectra is a multidisciplinary journal published by SAGE. DocuGuru's Earthquake Spectra template matches SAGE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Earthquake Spectra PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Earthquake Spectra template (the sagej class) that is ready to submit to SAGE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Earthquake Spectra template cost?
You can start writing in the Earthquake Spectra template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Earthquake Spectra PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
