Flagship Summary
This flagship will provide a paradigm shift in strong ground motion prediction in New Zealand and internationally through the use of high-fidelity physics-based prediction methods, which merge state-of-the-art knowledge in strong motion seismology and geotechnical earthquake engineering. The impact of this flagship will result from the reduction in the design level seismic hazard in many regions through an increased prediction precision, identification of regions with an increased seismic hazard resulting from systematic basin and topographic ground motion phenomena; quantification of ground motion intensity affecting spatially distributed infrastructure networks.
