Abstract
The 2011 Mineral, Virginia, Earthquake impacted a large area of the central and eastern United States (CEUS). This paper estimates the ground-motion intensity in northeast Pennsylvania with an epicentral distance of 384 km using existing ground-motion attenuation models. The corrected ground-motion data from the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) is used to estimate the ground motion in northeast Pennsylvania for comparison with available attenuation models. The attenuation models were also compared with US Geological Survey (USGS) "Did You Feel It?" intensity reports. The estimated rock site peak horizontal ground acceleration in northeast Pennsylvania is between 0.0075 and 0.030g.
