All of these analyses used the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center Next Generation Attenuation (PEER-NGA) strong motion database. We explored the relationship between CAVS and IJMA using both the full PEER-NGA database and a subset of that database (the CB08 subset) that we previously used to develop GMPEs for peak ground motion and linear-elastic and inelastic response spectra. We used only the CB08 subset of the PEER-NGA database to develop GMPEs for CAVGM, CAVS and IJMA in order to limit the analysis to those recordings that were considered to be most reliable. Thus far, we have found that CAVGM has less aleatory uncertainty than any of the peak ground motion and response-spectral parameters we have studied and that the aleatory uncertainty associated with CAVS is among the smallest. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project was partially funded by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as part of the activities of Seismic Working Group 1 (WG1) of the Extra Budgetary Program (EPB).
