Abstract
This relationship shows fairly good agreement with isoseismals of many large earthquakes in the central United States and may therefore be useful in providing realistic estimates of spatial attenuation and hence of design earthquakes for a given site. It can also be sometimes useful in estimating the epicentral intensity of an earthquake whose maximum intensity is not reliably known.Keywords
