Abstract
In this study, we suggest correction terms for an existing ground motion prediction equation corresponding magnitude 9 earthquake. After the2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake, the importance of accurate prediction of seismic motion has been reconfirm. However, the existing ground motion prediction equation would overestimate seismic motion by the huge earthquake of magnitude 9 classes. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of it, correction terms for the existing ground motion prediction equation are obtained by regression analysis
