Summary of controlling seismic events: seismic stability evaluation of Anderson Dam, Santa Clara County, Caliornia

Notes
1 PGA (peak ground acceleration at bedrock) and spectral accelerations (SA) were computed using all five NGA attenuation relationships.
2 The Range Front fault (i.e. the southern continuation of the Coyote Creek fault) is considered non-seismogenic. Fault Type: RV = Reverse, SS = Strike slip
HW: Yes = on hanging wall. No = on foot wall
Rmap = map distance
Rjb = Joyner-Boore Distance
Rrup = fault rupture distance
