Determination of Seismic Acceleration Coefficients for West Tennessee

The objective of this paper is to improve the 2003 Campbell attenuation relationship for ENA (Eastern North America), using an empirical-stochastic source model and the modification factors based on seismological models in the WNA (Western North America) and the ENA regions.
