“…To avoid the mistake of predicting potential damage from a small earthquake based on predicted PGA, the Electric Power Research Institute first proposed to use CAV to assess the earthquake's impact on nuclear power plants (EPRI, 1988). In addition, it has also been applied to assess the damage of building structures (Bradley, 2015; Cabanas et al., 1997; EPRI, 2006), seismic hazard (M. H. Wu et al., 2022), soil liquefaction (Bray & Macedo, 2017; Kramer & Mitchell, 2006), and the basin effect (J. P. Wang et al., 2018). In the Istanbul EEW system, CAV based on the actual ground motion is compared against pre‐set thresholds to determine the alarm levels to be issued (Alcik et al., 2009).…”
