The HF Green function is computed in a flat-layered velocity medium
The slip function is approximated by a ramp
A k-squared final slip distribution on the fault is assumed (Herrero and Bernard, 1996)

Statistical description of earthquake effectsStatistical description of earthquake effectsIn the frame of a scenario simulation associated with a characteristic earthquake, some “low frequency” source characteristics can be considered constant over a large time scale in successive rupture episodes.
However the single rupture process does not repeat the same style of nucleation, propagation and stopping even if it keeps the mean characteristics.
With this in mind, we simulated a large number of rupture processes occurring on the same causative fault considering different positions of nucleation point and different final slip distributions.
Synthetic seismograms are computed for each considered rupture process and ground motion parameters of interest are then evaluated through a statistical analysis
