STRONG GROUND MOTION SIMULATION OF THE 2003 BAM EARTHQUAKE USING THE EMPIRICAL GREEN’S FUNCTION METHOD

the 26 december 2003 bam earthquake caused catastrophic damage to the city of bam and neighboring villages . Large amplitude ground motions recorded at the bam accelerograph station in the center of bam city by the building and housing research center BHRC of iran. we simulated acceleration records of the bam earthquale at three BHRC strong motion stations bam abaraq and mohammad abad using the empirical greens function EGF method.
