The 6th May, 1976 Friuli Mw6.4 earthquake: empirical shaking scenarios

Type Other Class type Seismological and infrasonic data (Earth and sea)

Shaking Scenario Empirical Approach Ground Motion Parameters Friuli 1976 Earthquake North-Eastern Italy

To reconstruct, with high spatial resolution, the ground shaking produced by the 1976 Mw 6.4 Friuli earthquake (ITACA event code IT-1976-0002), a predicted shaking scenario is generated using an advanced empirical model. The objective is to map the distribution of engineering Intensity Measures (IMs), such as Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), Peak Ground Velocity (PGV), and spectral accelerations for different spectral periods (i.e. Sa(T=0.3s), Sa(T=1.0s)), over a spatial domain extending up to 80 km from the epicenter.
