✦ Synopsis

One hundred and twenty-eight strong ground motion CALTECH (Earthquakes in the U.S. A., 1940-1971) records of five Californian earthquakes, recorded at ground level and in basements, for which the modified Mercalli macroseismic intensities are known, were statistically processed to calculate 165 wave parameters. Correlation of the peak values of particle acceleration, velocity and displacement, energy, impulse and root-mean-square amplitude of the vibrations, durations of vibrations for certain levels of the peak amplitude, and spectral energies of 10 frequency windows with macroseismic intensity are discussed from the viewpoint of classification of ground-motion records.
