TY  - JOUR
AB  - A key element in the assessment of induced seismic hazard and risk due to induced earthquakes  in  the  Groningen  gas  field  is  a  model  for  the  prediction  of  ground motions. Rather than use ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) with generic site amplification factors conditioned on proxyparameters such as VS30, a field-wide zonation   of   frequency-dependent   non-linear amplification   factors   has   been developed.  Each  amplification  factor  is  associated  with  a  measure  of  site-to-site variability  that  captures  the  variation  of  VSprofiles  and  hence  amplification  factors across each zone, as well as the influence of uncertainty in the modulus reduction and damping functions for each soil layer. This model can be used in conjunction with predictions of response spectral accelerations at a reference rock horizon at a depthof  about  800  m  to  calculate  fully  probabilistic  estimates  of  the  hazard  in  terms  of ground  shaking  at  the  surface  for  a  large  region  potentially  affected  by  induced earthquakes.
