1987 Whittier Narrows-01, LB - Orange Ave

Ground motion information:

NGA Record Sequence Number 645

Magnitude = 6
Closest Distance = 24.5 km
Hypocentral Distance = 25.31 km
Vs30 = 306 m/s
Mechanism = Reverse-oblique

T_p = 0.9 s
PGV = 31.2 cm/s

Orientation of strongest pulse, relative to north = 13 degrees
Orientation of strongest pulse, relative to fault parallel = 87 degrees
Pulse in fault normal direction = 1
Pulse due to directivity = 0

Comments:

Poor directivity geometry, large distance given the amount of rupture between the fault and site

Directivity parameters:

X = 0.5
s = 4.99 km
θ = 74.9

Y = 0.03
d = 0.19 km
φ = 6.2

IDP = 0.03
Rowshandel parameter = -0.15
