Recording of ground motions with high amplitudes of acceleration and velocity play a key role for designing engineering projects. Here we try to represent a reasonable prediction of peak ground acceleration which may create more than gacceleration in different regions. In this study, applying different structures of Neural Networks (NN) and using four key parameters, moment magnitude, rupture distance, site class, and style of faulting which an earthquake may cause serious effects on a site. We introduced a radial basis function network (RBF) with mean error of 0.014, as the best network for estimating the occurrence probability of an earthquake with large value of PGA ≥1g in a region. Also the results of applying back propagation in feed forward neural network (FFBP) show a good coincidence with designed RBF results for predicting high value of PGA, with Mean error of 0.017.
