Regional Hazard Simulation (R2D, rWhale) / Correct way to simulate a M7.2 EQ near San Francisco
« on: August 16, 2021, 09:30:45 PM »
Hello,
I am looking for the best/correct way to use R2D to simulate a 7.2Mw earthquake on the San Andreas fault near San Francisco.
Currently, I am trying to filter earthquakes by name using keywords 'San Andreas' and limiting the distance to 50km (I also tried other values), and keeping other options as default (see screenshot attached). The PGA values I get from this approach seem low - below 0.25g in most realizations and the spatial distribution seems inconsistent.
I am attaching the input file I used (note: the VS30 is constant for testing) and the output (99 realizations of the PGA for each station).
I wonder if this is the correct way to conduct this simulation or if I am missing something which would explain my results.
Thank you in advance,
Rodrigo.
