The filtered records are then summed to form the final, broadband ground motions. Click here for Picture Figure 1. The slip distribution derived from the inversion of strong-motion, teleseismic and geodetic data. Contour interval is 0.4 meters. The hypocenter is given with a star.
View is above and perpendicular to the fault plane as viewed from the south-southwest.
From the source rupture model of Wald et al. This is an effective way of estimating the overall damage pattern and potential of an event like the Northridge earthquake as well as focusing in on more site-specific ground motion and design issues. Click here for Picture Figure 2. The basemap is southern California topography, with basins darkly shaded. The epicenter is given with a star and the fault projection of the fault plane to map view is shown as a dashed rectangle.
