Abstract
The paper presents results from an extensive study involving the mapping of key ground motion characteristics and of linear/nonlinear spectral ordinates for all strong Vrancea earthquakes that occurred in Romania in the last three decades. The scope of the study was to provide a comprehensive image of the spatial distribution of the parameters considered for the specified seismic events. By corroborating the results with data from previous studies by the authors, the study reveals interesting conclusions from the structural engineering point of view.
