Boore & Atkinson Ground Motion Prediction Equation

The Boore & Atkinson Ground Motion Prediction Equation estimates how strong earthquake shaking might be at a specific location based on factors like the earthquake's size, distance from the site, and local ground conditions. It uses mathematical formulas derived from past earthquake data to predict ground motion levels, helping engineers and planners assess earthquake risks and design structures that can withstand shaking. Essentially, it provides a scientific way to anticipate how violently the ground might shake during an earthquake, aiding in safe construction and disaster preparedness.
