Issues from Dec 2004 • Oversaturation – Is it real? – Is it due to the aspect ratio, or the magnitude? • Use of Aspect ratio – Are aspect ratios used in NGA consistent with aspect ratios currently used in hazard analyses? – Correlation with style-of-faulting • Dependence on dip – Is this dip effects or a regional effect?

A&S changes • Use new non-linear soil functional form – Addressed cross over level • Added HW factor – Function of dip and Rjb
