Abstract
The strong ground motion that will result from damaging earthquakes that occur in South Carolina, varying in size from those that can produce only minor damage to those as large as the 1886 event, was estimated. The report is divided into three parts. Part I discusses acceleration, velocity and displacement modeling, using available observational data (accelerograms and non-strong motion seismographic) and response spectra obtained from those data. Part II uses MM intensity data for estimating strong ground motion. Part III presents surface-wave focal mechanism studies of South Carolina earthquakes.
