1 CyberShake Simulations for Path Effects near SONGS Feng Wang, Thomas H. Jordan, Robert Graves, Scott Callaghan, Philip Maechling, and the CME Collaboration

2 2 SCEC s CyberShake utilizes 3D simulations and finite-fault rupture descriptions to compute deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard in. (Graves et al., 2010) s758 San Onofre

3 3 CyberShake: Simulation-based seismic hazard model ~7000 fault ruptures (UCERF 2) ~60 realizations per rupture multiple hypocenter locations, and pseudo-dynamic rupture descriptions ~440,000 rupture variations Slip Velocity Function Rise time GenSlip v2.1 (Graves and Pitarka, 2007) GenSlip v3.2 (Graves and Pitarka, 2010) Spatial slip distribution and rupture front Rise time for slip velocity function Slip directions (rake distribution)
