To quantify the seismic hazard, Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) is used for design procedures. The maximum possible PGA of a particular region depends on seismic parameters like magnitude, hypocentral distance, type of soil etc. Though it can be obtained by observing the past seismic events, it is more realistic to relate it with the parameters that influence it. Due to high seismic activity at the Himalayan region, this paper is aimed at developing a Ground Motion Prediction Equation (GMPE) for this region. For this purpose, two sets of 168 earthquakes (2.5 7.2 M w ) have been selected that are recorded at different stations within 500 km radius along the Himalayan belt. A statistical analysis is carried out on both sets separately based on the relation of PGA with magnitude, hypocentral distance and the type of soil. New GMPE equations have been proposed. The same are compared with the existing GMPE for the same region and seismically similar regions. 000018374 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000018374 653__ $$aPeak ground acceleration (PGA); Ground motion prediction equation (GMPE); Seismic hazard 000018374 7112_ $$a16th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering$$cSantiago (CL)$$d2017-01-09 / 2017-01-13$$gWCEE16 000018374 720__ $$aSrinagesh, Davuluri$$iPatnala, Neelima$$iRajaram, Chenna$$iKumar, Ramancharla Pradeep 000018374 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000018374 8564_ $$s539956$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/18374/files/1327.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on USB, paper 1327. 000018374 962__ $$r16048 000018374 980__ $$aPAPER
