class shakelib.gmice.wald99.Wald99[source]

Bases: shakelib.gmice.gmice.GMICE

Implements the ground motion intensity conversion equations (GMICE) of Wald et al. (1999). This module implements a simplified version in that it only uses one of PGV or PGA, and not a combination of the two (PGV for higher intensities, PGA for lower) as is recommended in the reference.

getPreferredMI(df, dists=None, mag=None)[source]

Function to compute macroseismic intensity from the preferred ground-motion intensity. The function uses PGV by default, but this may be overridden by individual classes.

Parameters:

  • df (dict) – Dictionaary containing all of the available ground motions.

  • dists (ndarray) – Numpy array of distances from rupture (km).

  • mag (float) – Earthquake magnitude.

Returns:

ndarray of Modified Mercalli Intensity and ndarray of dMMI / dln(amp) (i.e., the slope of the relationship at the point in question).

getMIfromGM(amps, imt, dists=None, mag=None)[source]

Function to compute macroseismic intensity from ground-motion intensity. Supported ground-motion IMTs are PGA and PGV

Parameters:

  • amps (ndarray) – Ground motion amplitude; natural log units; g for PGA and PSA, cm/s for PGV.

  • imt (OpenQuake IMT) – Type the input amps (must be one of PGA or PGV). [link] <http://docs.openquake.org/oq-hazardlib/master/imt.html>

  • dists (ndarray) – Numpy array of distances from rupture (km). This parameter is ignored by this GMICE.

  • mag (float) – Earthquake magnitude. This parameter is ignored by this GMICE.

Returns:

ndarray of Modified Mercalli Intensity and ndarray of dMMI / dln(amp) (i.e., the slope of the relationship at the point in question).

getGMfromMI(mmi, imt, dists=None, mag=None)[source]

Function to tcompute ground-motion intensity from macroseismic intensity. Supported IMTs are PGA and PGV.

Parameters:

  • mmi (ndarray) – Macroseismic intensity.

  • imt (OpenQuake IMT) – IMT of the requested ground-motions intensities (must be one of PGA or PGV). [link] <http://docs.openquake.org/oq-hazardlib/master/imt.html>

  • dists (ndarray) – Rupture distances (km) to the corresponding MMIs. This parameter is ignored by this GMICE.

  • mag (float) – Earthquake magnitude. This parameter is ignored by this GMICE.

Returns:

Ndarray of ground motion intensity in natural log of g for PGA and PSA, and natural log cm/s for PGV; ndarray of dln(amp) / dMMI (i.e., the slope of the relationship at the point in question).

Returns:

Dictionary of GM to MI sigmas (in MMI units).

getMI2GMsd()[source]

Return a dictionary of standard deviations for the MMI to ground-motion conversion. The keys are the ground motion types.

Returns:

Dictionary of MI to GM sigmas (ln(PGM) units).
