JAIMES, Miguel A.; REINOSO, Eduardo; ORDAZ, Mario  and  ARREDONDO, Cesar. Correlación entre la aceleración y velocidad máxima del suelo: aplicación en el análisis del peligro sísmico. Ing. sísm [online]. 2009, n.81, pp.19-35. ISSN 0185-092X.

We propose an equation that correlates the seismic parameters of peak ground motion acceleration (A_max) and velocity (V_max) commonly used to estimate damage to pipelines, building contents and non structural elements. This equation allows us to estimate peak velocity V_max in terms of peak acceleration A_max. This means that, from an existing attenuation relation for A_max and a source model, it is possible to carry out a bivariated probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. An example of the probabilistic hazard assessment is presented for two sites at hill zone.
