Abstract
Peak ground accelerations, computed from sliding of objects during the 1969 Banja Luka earthquakes in Bosnia and Herzegovina (former Yugoslavia) are computed assuming that the ground motion consists of simple rectangular or sinusoidal pulses. The results show good agreement with observed macroseismic estimates of shaking based on the Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg (MCS) intensity scale. The results are also in compliance with recorded accelerations during the 1973-1986 period and with recent probabilistic hazard analyses for the Banja Luka region.
