The Geometry of Earthquake Shaking: A Probabilistic Model for Response-Spectrum Directionality

This study demonstrates that the directional variability of horizontal earthquake response spectra is primarily a finite-sample stochastic effect governed by the duration-to-period ratio, rather than intrinsic physical anisotropy, and presents a parsimonious probabilistic model that accurately reproduces observed anisotropy patterns to improve ground-motion modeling and seismic hazard analysis.
