近断层速度脉冲地震动的三维有限差分模拟

根据台湾西部地质地貌特征和1999年集集M_W7.6地震的研究成果,建立三维速度结构模型和震源模型,并采用三维有限差分法对双冬断层可能产生的近断层脉冲型地震动进行数值模拟。结果表明,方向性效应引起的双向速度脉冲集中在垂直于断层滑动分量的方向上,而滑冲效应引起的单向速度脉冲则集中在平行于断层滑动分量的方向上。受方向性效应和上盘效应的共同调制,近断层脉冲型地震动反映出不对称带状分布的特征,速度脉冲主要分布在距离断层面约10 km的范围内。凹凸体的特性影响着地震动的时空分布,由地震波场显示南投和台中处于强地震动危险区。近场脉冲型地震动的研究对分析速度脉冲形成机理以及地震危险性有一定的参考意义。     

震源破裂方式和断层性质对近场强地震动特征的影响

基于数值格林函数法的近场强地震动数值模拟方法,以1994年Northridge地震断层面上位错量的不均匀分布模式和该地区的地层剪切波速度结构为震源模型和计算模型,做了两个方面的模拟研究:(1)直立走滑断层(断层倾角为90°)情况下,模拟分析了有限断层单侧破裂模式和双侧破裂模式对强地震动特征——破裂方向性和上盘效应的影响;(2)对于倾斜断层(倾角为45°),模拟分析了正断层、逆断层和走滑断层情况下,单侧破裂模式对其强地震动主要特征——破裂方向性效应和上盘效应的影响.结果表明:断层的破裂方式直接影响着地表地震动峰值和矢量分布;在近场区无论直立断层还是倾斜断层,其地表地震动峰值分布所表达的破裂方向性效应显著,位于破裂传播前方的地震动强度大,反映了波前被压缩的趋势,破裂后方地震强度明显变小;倾斜断层引起的上盘效应明显,NS向分量和竖向分量的地表地震动峰值的最大值出现在上盘靠近断层迹线处,EW向分量的峰值在断层迹线两侧呈不对称分布,且逆断层引起的地震动峰值最大,走滑断层的次之,正断层的最小.     

动力学走滑断层地震动方向性效应谱元法模拟

采用动力学震源模型，运用谱元法模拟走滑断层单、双侧破裂模式的地面运动，分析模拟2种模式下地震动的方向性效应和脉冲效应，并对比分析2种模式下断层破裂速度、滑移量与滑移速率的异同。研究结果表明：单、双侧破裂模式下的FN分量PGV均表现出明显的方向性效应，而FP分量的PGV方向性效应不明显，且单侧破裂较双侧破裂的地震动方向性效应强；单侧破裂较双侧破裂更易产生脉冲效应，脉冲效应随断层距的增加而减小，表现为脉冲峰值V_p与脉冲周期T_p的减小；脉冲效应与方向性效应的出现使地震动的低频含量提高，且这种效应也将随断层距的增加而减小；单、双侧破裂模式断层的破裂速度与滑移量无明显差异，而最大滑移速率表现出方向性效应，且单侧破裂较双侧破裂明显。     

集集地震近断层速度脉冲分析

初步分析了近断层速度脉冲的成因和特点,主要包括方向性效应、滑冲效应和上盘效应,并通过集集地震中27个近断层强震台的脉冲记录分析了断层破裂方向和滑移大小对地面运动峰值速度的影响。采用最小二乘法对速度脉冲的分布范围进行了回归分析,大于50 cm/s的速度脉冲主要聚集在断层距为10 km的近断层区域。对不同区域的三分量平均速度反应谱进行统计分析,表明近断层脉冲型地震动具有较大的特征周期和谱值,其中在垂直于断层走向的水平分量上尤为显著,这与断层剪切位错辐射效应的特征基本相符。针对脉冲型地震造成近断层地质灾害频发的现象,由共振效应分析了速度脉冲对边坡岩体的影响。近断层速度脉冲的研究可能对防震减灾、地震预警、震害评估有一定的参考意义。     

断层附近地面地震动空间分布

运用震源位错模型, 分析矩形垂直断层及倾斜断层走向滑动和倾向滑动的近场地震动场，以地表地震动的傅立叶振幅谱比为参量考察断层附近地震动空间分布的特点. 结果表明, 断层附近的地震动强度主要受近旁子断层的控制，高强度的地震动分布在紧靠断层两侧有限的带状区域内，长周期分量受断层破裂传播方向性的影响. 走向滑动的方向性影响主要表现在垂直于断层走向的分量，倾向滑动则表现在平行于断层走向的分量，且深震在地面上引起的地震动强度分布比浅震要平缓，影响范围宽. 倾斜断层产生的地震动有明显的上盘效应，空间分布不对称，与观测结果相符. 最后给出了断层附近近场地震动强度分布拟合函数的表达式，并与美国的1997统一建筑规范规定的近场因子作了比较.      

近断层地震动方向性效应及超剪切破裂研究

近断层地震动是造成近断层区工程结构破坏的重要因素,近断层地震动的特征受到诸多因素的影响,其中断层破裂传播的方向性是影响近断层地震动及其分布特征的关键因素之一。方向性效应的影响因素众多,比如断层破裂的速度、破裂的方向、断层的倾角、震源的深度、破裂的模式、破裂起始位置以及断层面上的局部震源参数等。但是这些参数是如何影响方向性效应的呢?特别是一般认为断层的破裂速度接近于剪切波传播速度时,会产生明显的方向性效应,但是当破裂速度超过剪切波传播速度时是否会产生方向性效应?如果存在,又会对近断层地震动的特征产生如何影响?为了回答这些问题,本研究首先分析了方向性效应的相关概念,接着采用数值方法模拟了各种震源相关参数的变化对方向性效应的影响,并且对模拟结果和实际近断层强地震动的方向性特征进行了分析,最后专门研究了地震破裂过程中的超剪切破裂现象及其对近断层地震动方向性效应的影响。研究时分别从地震动的加速度、速度和位移三方面,系统地分析了其三分量的峰值、频谱和持时特征,研究的主要内容和结论如下:

利用5个反映地震动频谱特征的周期(反应谱卓越周期Tp, 平滑化反应谱卓越周期To, 傅氏幅值谱平均周期Tm, 等效速度脉冲周期Tv和拟速度反应谱卓越周期Tpv), 对集集地震的近断层三分量地震动进行研究. 结果表明, 上盘地震动的频谱周期小于下盘地震动; Tp小于To和Tm, 且Tp反映的三分量之间的关系与To和Tm不同; 在地表断裂带的北端,Tv和Tpv所反映的近断层地震动长周期分量的频谱特征, 与走滑断层中方向性效应作用的规律相类似. 得出的定性或定量结论可以为近场抗震设计谱的建立与地震危险性区划研究提供参考.      

直下型断层的破裂速度对盆地地震效应的影响

首先基于有限断层破裂下的运动学震源模型,对比验证了三维谱元法对于近场地震动的模拟精度。 进而通过含盆地模型与不含盆地的一维水平成层模型的地震动强度之间和放大系数分布特征之间的对比,详细研究了直下型断层的破裂速度对盆地地震效应的影响。结果表明,盆地的存在会显著改变近断层地震动的分布特征,同时盆地内不同分量强地震动的分布特征变化较大。断层破裂速度对盆地地震效应影响显著,随破裂速度的增大盆地地震动强度逐渐增加,但不同分量上地震动强度的增加速率显著不同,受盆地效应的影响,放大系数表现出与强地震动不同的分布特征。盆地放大系数整体表现出随破裂速度的增加而减小的趋势,但不同分量放大系数所受影响程度差异明显。同时,盆地内地震动强烈放大区域的位置也受破裂速度的显著影响,但其总体上集中在断层两侧区域及垂直于破裂方向的盆地边缘附近。      

地震动的速度脉冲对结构反应及结构减隔震性能影响研究

近断层地震动非常复杂,受地壳介质和地表局部场地影响的同时,更受地震断层破裂尺度、断层面位错的发展过程、破裂速度、滑动方向等因素的影响。近断层地震动常具有震动集中性、速度脉冲、永久位移以及破裂的方向性和上/下盘效应等特征。其中,地震动速度脉

Pulse-like ground motion observed during the 6 February 2023 MW7.8 Pazarcık Earthquake (Kahramanmaraş, SE Türkiye)

In this study, we analyzed 100 three-component strong ground motion records observed within 200 km of the causative fault of the 6 February 2023 M_W7.8 Pazarcık (Kahramanmaraş) Earthquake in SE Türkiye. The wavelet method was utilized to identify and analyze the characteristics of pulse-like ground motions in the near-fault region, while considering the uncertainty of the pulse orientation during the analysis. Our investigation focused on the effects of the focal mechanism and rupture process on the spatial distribution, pulse orientation, and maximum pulse direction of the observed pulse-like ground motion. We also analyzed the amplitude and period of the observed ground pulses and the effect of long-period amplification on the ground motion response spectra. Our results indicated the following: (1) A total of 21 typical ground velocity pulses were observed during this earthquake, exhibiting complex characteristics due to the influence of the strike-slip mechanism and rupture directivity. Most ground pulses (17 out of 21) were recorded within 20 km of the fault, in a wide range of orientations, including normal and parallel to the fault direction. The waveforms exhibited unidirectional features, indicating the effects of left-lateral fault slip. Distinct pulses observed more than 20 km from the fault were mainly oriented normal to the fault. The waveforms were bidirectional with double- or multi-round trips as a result of rupture directivity. (2) The amplitudes of the observed pulses ranged from 30.5 to 220.0 cm/s, with the largest peak velocity of 220.0 cm/s observed at Station 3138. The pulse periods ranged from 2.3 to 14.5 s, with the longest pulse period of 14.5 s observed at Station 3116. The amplitude and period of the pulses observed during this earthquake were comparable to those of similar-magnitude global earthquakes. The amplitude of the pulses decreased significantly with increasing fault distance, whereas the pulse period was not significantly affected by the fault distance. (3) Compared with non-pulse records, the velocity pulse records had a pronounced amplification effect on the acceleration response spectra near the pulse period, with factors ranging from 2.1 to 5.8. The larger velocity pulses also significantly amplified the velocity response spectra, particularly over the long periods. This significant amplification effect of the pulses on the response spectra leads to empirical models underestimating the long-period earthquake ground motion.     

Response of buildings to near-field pulse-like ground motions

Ground motions affected by directivity focusing at near-field stations contain distinct pulses in acceleration, velocity, and displacement histories. For the same Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and duration of shaking, ground motions with directivity pulses can generate much higher base shears, inter-storey drifts, and roof displacements in high-rise buildings as compared to the 1940 El Centro ground motion which does not contain these pulses. Also, the ductility demand can be much higher and the effectiveness of supplemental damping lower for pulse-like ground motions. This paper presents a simple interpretation of the response characteristics of three recorded and one synthetic near-field ground motions. It is seen that for pulse-like ground motions—similar to any other ground motion—the Peak values of Ground Acceleration, Velocity, and Displacement (PGA, PGV and PGD) are the key response parameters. Near-field ground motions with directivity effects tend to have high PGV/PGA ratio, which dramatically influences their response characteristics. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Deterministic and probabilistic representation of near-field pulse-like ground motion

The response and damage assessment of engineering structures under near-field ground motions is currently of great interest. Near-field ground motion with directivity focusing or fling effects produces pulse-like ground motion that has characteristics different from those of ordinary records. This paper develops simple deterministic and probabilistic models for near-field pulse-like ground motions. These models belong to the class of engineering models that aim to replicate some of the gross features observed in near-field records. The ground velocity is expressed as a steady-state function or a stationary random process modulated by an envelope function. Both models account for the non-stationarity and the multiple pulses in the ground velocity. While the deterministic model is similar to some of the models developed earlier, the probabilistic model facilitates handling uncertainties in the ground motion and variability in the structure's properties. For instance, this model combined with structural reliability methods can be used for reliability assessment of structures under near-field random ground motion. The reduction of the structural response by adding supplemental dampers is also investigated.     

近断层地震动作用下土质边坡动力响应研究

根据汶川地震中滑坡多沿断层分布的特点,利用FLAC有限差分软件建立了一个土质边坡动力数值分析模型,分别研究了具有向前方向性效应、滑冲效应和无速度脉冲的近断层地震动作用下边坡的动力响应.结果表明:含速度脉冲地震动对边坡的破坏作用远强于无速度脉冲地震动,且具有滑冲效应的地震动引起的边坡动力响应稍大于向前方向性效应地震动.近断层地震作用下,边坡水平方向绝对峰值加速度分布存在沿高程放大效应.具有向前方向性效应的地震动会增强边坡加速度的高程放大效应而具有滑冲效应的地震动则在一定程度上削弱了这种放大效应,且边坡中下部绝对峰值加速度值相对于向前方向性效应地震动和无速度脉冲地震动引起的绝对峰值加速度值较大.     

Effect of seismic super-shear rupture on the directivity of ground motion acceleration

The effect of seismic super-shear rupture on the directivity of ground motions using simulated accelerations of a vertical strike-slip fault model is the topic of this study. The discrete wave number/finite element method was adopted to calculate the ground motion in the horizontal layered half space. An analysis of peak ground acceleration （PGA） indicates that similar to the sub-shear situation, directivity also exists in the super-shear situation. However, there are some differences as tbllows： （1） The PGA of the fault-normal component decreases with super-shear velocity, and the areas that were significantly affected by directivity in the PGA field changed from a cone-shaped region in the forward direction in a sub-shear situation to a limited near-fault region in a super-shear situation. （2） The PGA of the fault-parallel and vertical component is not as sensitive as the fault-normal component to the increasing super-shear velocity. （3） The PGA of the fault-normal component is not always greater than the fault-parallel component when the rupture velocity exceeds the shear wave velocity.     

Rupture directivity effect on strong ground motion during the 12 May 2008 MW7.9 Wenchuan earthquake

We focus here on the rupture directivity effect on the spatial distribution and attenuation characteristics of near-field ground motions during the 2008 MW7.9 Wenchuan earthquake. We examine the difference between the observed ground motions in and opposite the rupture directions and compare them with Next Generation Attenuation-West2 (NGA-West2) ground motion prediction models. The isochrone directivity predictor is used to quantify the band-limited nature of the rupture directivity effect on strong ground motion. Our results show that the observed peak ground velocity (PGV) and spectral accelerations of periods of 1.0 s and longer are significantly amplified in the rupture direction, but de-amplified in the opposite direction affected by rupture directivity effect of this event. In contrast, the effect of rupture directivity on the observed peak ground acceleration (PGA) and periods of shorter than 1.0 s are relatively weak. The rupture directivity of this event shows clear period dependent and band limited characteristics with the strongest effect occurring around the period of 7.5 s.     

2015年尼泊尔Gorkha地震强地面运动记录分析

2015年4月25日在尼泊尔Gorkha地区发生M_W7.8地震,距离发震断层约11 km的KATNP台站完整记录了主震的加速度时程.本文根据KATNP台站记录的加速度数据分析了Gorkha地震的地震动特征.结果表明Gorkha地震在KATNP台站处产生的水平向峰值加速度为0.17 g,竖直向峰值加速度为0.19 g,该数值小于科学家们对如此大规模地震产生的地震动的预期,初步推测这可能是由加德满都山谷产生的非线性响应造成的（Dixit et al.,2015）;地震在KATNP台站处产生了地表永久位移,其中竖向永久位移为131.9 cm,水平向永久位移的绝对值为159.2 cm,方向为南偏西19°（199°）,据此可简单推算出断层走向约为289°（109°）.地震产生了脉冲型地震动,影响因素有盆地效应、地震破裂的向前的方向性效应以及滑冲效应,其中盆地效应的周期约为5 s左右,方向性效应产生的速度脉冲的周期约为8 s左右.加速度反应谱显示在0.5 s和5.0 s左右各有一个峰值,前者是由地震破裂的脉冲式滑移产生的大量高频地震动造成的,后者是由于盆地效应和地震破裂的方向性效应造成的.基于阿里亚斯烈度计算的地震动持时约在36~46 s之间,小于与其规模相当的地震产生的地震动持时,并且不同方向上的地震动持时可能与地震破裂方向有关.阿里亚斯烈度随时间的变化比较简单,也反映了Gorkha地震是一次连续的、能量释放相对简单的地震事件.

Efficient strong motion duration of pulse-like records for nonlinear structural analyses

The special interest produced by near-field directivity records and their effect on structural response has given a new significance in the velocity time history, its pulse-like content, and relevant parameters and indices. Recent research has shown that directivity pulses inherent in these records govern the linear and the nonlinear response of a wide range of structures. Based on this observation, it is suggested in this paper that a truncated ground motion, limited to the duration of the predominant velocity pulse, can be efficiently used to predict the structural response, instead of the base motion with the total duration, reducing significantly the required runtimes. The proposed methodology is verified for a series of medium to high rise reinforced concrete buildings, for which nonlinear time-history analyses are performed for a vast suite of pulse-like near-field records applied as base excitations with their total duration and the proposed truncated one. Comparison of the results for the response displacements and forces shows very good agreement, permitting the acceptance of the pulse duration as the efficient strong motion time interval of the original record, which determines the response and, thus, it can be used for nonlinear structural analyses.
