This report describes the demonstration of a fully functional version of the SCEC Broadband Strong Motion Simulation Platform. The demonstration consists of two parts: demonstration by a person outside SCEC, and demonstration of the capability to perform large scale ground motion simulations of interest to the PEER NGA Program. The objective of the first demonstration was to show that a person outside SCEC who has no prior knowledge of the Platform and has not participated in the development of 3 USC-SCEC/CEA TECHNICAL REPORT #11 any of the computer codes that it uses is able to perform ground motion simulations on the platform without assistance. This demonstration was done by Ms. Katie Wooddell (PG&E). Ms. Wooddell works with Dr. Norm Abrahamson (PG&E), who is a member of the project management committee of the PEER NGA Program. The objective of the second demonstration was to show that large scale ground motion simulations can be run on the platform by individuals other than those who developed the seismological components of the computer codes that constitute the Platform. This demonstration was done by Phil Maechling, the SCEC IT Architect. The demonstration involved large scale simulations of hanging wall effects on strong ground motions, a topic that is of interest to the PEER NGA Program.
