Description
Summary:Estimation of earthquake ground motions is important for several purposes including seismic design, analysis, risk mitigation and disaster management. For regions with insufficient data, simulations become critical, particularly for earthquake engineering applications requiring full ground motion data. In this study, stochastic finite-fault simulation of the 3 February 2002 Cay event is presented at three available stations within epicentral distances less than 200 km. The simulations are initially validated at these stations. Next, simulations of the earthquake at dummy nodes are performed in Afyon region. The simulated ground motion records for the Cay event are evaluated by comparing them against selected ground motion prediction equations. Then, the distributions of the observed intensity and damage are compared against the distribution of simulated intensities. The results reveal that the earthquake is simulated effectively. •Ground motions of 2002 Cay (Mw = 6.6) earthquake is simulated at near-fault stations.•Site effects are studied in detail in the form of amplification and diminution factors.•Validations with GOF scores and GMPEs are performed.•Spatial distribution of observed and simulated MMI values has the same pattern.•Simulations confirm the distribution of seismic damage in the area.
