Atkinson and Boore attenuation relation (1997)

based on http://peer.berkeley.edu/~jrodgers with permission.

In this example, you can calculate horizontal peak ground acceleration and the psuedoacceleration spectrum at a site in central or eastern North America using attenuation relationships by Atkinson and Boore, 1997 for rock site only.
