We perform a strong ground motion simulation using a modified semi-empirical technique (Midorikawa in Tectonophysics 218:287–295, <CitationRef CitationID="CR33">1993</CitationRef>), with frequency-dependent radiation pattern model. Joshi et al. (Nat Hazards 71:587–609, <CitationRef CitationID="CR21">2014</CitationRef>) have modified the semi-empirical technique to incorporate the...</citationref></citationref>

Uttarakhand Himalayas are among one of the most seismically active continental regions of the world. The Himalayan belt in this region is divided into Kumaon and Garhwal Himalaya. The Kumaon Himalayas has not experienced any large earthquake in the recent past; however, this region is frequently...

The semiempirical approach based on envelope summation method given by Midorikawa (Tectonophysics 218:287–295, <CitationRef CitationID="CR46">1993</CitationRef>) has been modified in this paper for modeling of strong motion generation areas (SMGAs). Horizontal components of strong ground motion have been simulated using modifications in...</citationref>

Modification in the semi-empirical technique for the simulation of strong ground motion has been introduced to incorporate the strong motion generation areas (SMGA) in the modeled rupture plane. Strong motion generation areas identified within the rupture plane of the Tohoku earthquake of March...
