2020年1月19日伽师MS6.4地震强地面运动特征分析

2020年1月18—19日新疆喀什地区伽师县连续发生3次M_S≥5.0地震，其中19日21时发生伽师县M_S6.4地震。为更好地了解此次地震的强震动记录特征，分析了此次地震序列的强震动记录，从记录波形上看，位于近场区西克尔强震台获取较大峰值加速度，特别是垂直向有明显脉冲峰值，其水平向有明显脉冲地震动，脉冲周期约为2.78 s,速度脉冲峰值分别为38.1 cm·s^-1和36.4 cm·s^-1,反应了断层破裂的方向性效应。用谱比法分析场地的放大效应，在2 s左右有一个基本的共振周期。通过与喀什地区伽师县设计反应谱对比，西克尔台站的水平向地震动的反应谱远高于喀什地区8度罕遇地震设计反应谱。     

基于实测记录分析场地因素对海底地震动特性影响

目前基于海底实测记录的分析发现海底与陆地地震动特性存在明显差异,但难以进一步确定海底地震动特性的影响因素。在以往研究的基础上对比同次地震中相邻海底台站间地震动特性的差异,并分析造成差异的原因。以日本K-NET地震台网中6个海底强震台站及其相邻不同场地条件陆地台站监测的8次强震记录为研究对象,通过分析强震记录的峰值加速度、水平放大系数谱、竖向与水平反应谱的比谱等,对比分析不同海底台站地震动的特性,以及海底台站与相邻不同场地条件陆地台站地震动特性的差别。研究发现：（1）海底与陆地竖向地震动存在明显差异;（2）不同海底台站间地震动特性亦存在较大差异和明显的规律性,海底场地条件、地形等场地因素对海底地震动特性的影响较大;（3）海底水平向地震动反应谱的特征周期较大,谱特性介于陆地中硬土与软土场地间。

2021年日本福岛海域MW7.1地震S-net海底地震动特征

2021年2月13日日本福岛县东部海域(Off-Fukushima)发生的M_W7.1地震是目前世界最大的海底观测系统——日本海沟地震和海啸海底观测网(S-net)——迄今为止记录到最大的俯冲带地震.为认识海底地震动并探究海陆差异,本文介绍了S-net海域台网及其数据处理的特殊性和必要性,分析了Off-Fukushima地震的地震动幅值、频谱和持时特征,比较了海底与陆地震动衰减特性的异同,对比了近海岸埋置台站、近海沟未埋台站及陆地台站地震动的差异,并与俯冲带地震动模型(GMM)进行了比较.结果表明：Off-Fukushima地震海底水平向PGV和周期大于0.5 s的加速度反应谱值显著大于陆地记录;相比陆地,海底动力放大系数谱向长周期方向偏移,表明海底记录长周期成分更丰富;受到海水的抑制作用,海底记录V/H反应谱比值小于陆地记录;由于海底记录与陆地GMM在路径和场地方面存在差异,水平向PGA及反应谱的残差分布出现明显偏移;海底近海岸埋置台站与近海沟未埋台站的地震动特征存在系统性差异,水平向差异很可能与海底地形有关,而竖向可能受到布设方式对台站与海底耦合程度的影响.本文...     

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.     

Site amplification in the Kathmandu Valley during the 2015 <Emphasis Type="Bold">M</Emphasis>7.6 Gorkha,Nepal earthquake

The 25th April 2015 M7.6 Gorkha earthquake caused significant damage to buildings and infrastructure in both Kathmandu and surrounding areas as well as triggering numerous, large landslides. This resulted in the loss of approximately 8600 lives. In order to learn how the impact of such events can be reduced on communities both in Nepal and elsewhere, the Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) reconnaissance mission was undertaken, aiming to look at damage patterns within the country. Passive, microtremor recordings in severely damaged areas of the Kathmandu Valley, as well as at the main seismic recording station in Kathmandu (USGS station KATNP) are used to determined preliminary shear wave velocity (V_s) profiles for each site. These profiles are converted into spectral acceleration using the input motion of the Gorkha earthquake. The results are limited, but show clear site amplification within the Siddhitol Region. The resulting ground motions exceed the design levels from the Nepalese Building Codes, indicating the need for site-specific hazard analysis and for revision of the building code to address the effect of site amplification.     

Strong ground motion simulation of the 2003 Bam, Iran, earthquake using the empirical Green’s function method

The 2003 Bam, Iran, earthquake caused catastrophic damage to the city of Bam and neighboring villages. Given its magnitude (M _w ) of 6.5, the damage was remarkably large. Large-amplitude ground motions were recorded at the Bam accelerograph station in the center of Bam city by the Building and Housing Research Center (BHRC) of Iran. We simulated the Bam earthquake acceleration records at three BHRC strong-motion stations—Bam, Abaraq, and Mohammad-Abad—by the empirical Green’s function method. Three aftershocks were used as empirical Green’s functions. The frequency range of the empirical Green’s function simulations was 0.5–10 Hz. The size of the strong motion generation area of the mainshock was estimated to be 11 km in length by 7 km in width. To estimate the parameters of the strong motion generation area, we used 1D and 2D velocity structures across the fault and a combined source model. The empirical Green’s function method using a combination of aftershocks produced a source model that reproduced ground motions with the best fit to the observed waveforms. This may be attributed to the existence of two distinct rupture mechanisms in the strong motion generation area. We found that the rupture starting point for which the simulated waveforms best fit the observed ones was near the center of the strong motion generation area, which reproduced near-source ground motions in a broadband frequency range. The estimated strong motion generation area could explain the observed damaging ground motion at the Bam station. This suggests that estimating the source characteristics of the Bam earthquake is very important in understanding the causes of the earthquake damage.     

Observations and estimation of long-period strong ground motion in the los angeles basin

While the accurate estimation of ground-motion amplitudes across the entire frequency band of engineering interest is not possible at the present time, the excitation and propagation of long-period strong-ground motion can be understood with existing seismological methodology. In the Los Angeles Basin, the long-period strong ground motion excited by the San Fernando earthquake is dominated by the presence of surface waves, whose gross amplitude and frequency content are easily attributable to physical properties of the earthquake source and source-station propagation paths. Observed measures of the long-period strong ground motion of the Kern County earthquake relative to the San Fernando earthquake at two sites in the Los Angeles Basin which recorded both shocks can be predicted with considerable accuracy by a simple earthquake source model. This source model is extrapolated to represent the maximum credible earthquake likely to affect the Los Angeles area, taken to be a repeat of the Fort Tejon (1857) earthquake along the San Andreas fault. The measures of long-period strong ground motion in the Los Angeles Basin estimated for it agree well with the comparable measures of Earthquake A-2, intended to represent the same situation. For the purpose of aseismic design of long-period structures, Earthquake A-2 is a reasonable, if not all inclusive, estimate of the long-period strong ground motion in the Los Angeles Basin generated by a magnitude 8+ earthquake along the San Andreas fault north and east of Los Angeles.     

Comparison of strong-motion records and damage implications between the 2014 Yunnan M_S6.5 Ludian earthquake and M_S6.6 Jinggu earthquake

Serial destructive earthquakes have caused heavy casualties and economic losses to the city in southwestern of China. The Ludian M_s 6.5 earthquake and the Jinggu M_s6.6 earthquake occurred in Yunnan province in 2014. There is a question of why the two events with almost the same level of magnitude caused differences in earthquake damage. To understand the uniqueness of the phenomenon,this paper focuses on the characteristics of the ground motions and post-earthquake field investigation for the two events.Firstly, we present an overview of the residuals between the Ludian earthquake and the Jinggu earthquake based on the YW06 Ground Motion Prediction Equation(GMPE), and explain the unusual destructiveness of the strong ground motion. Then we analyze the ground motion recordings at selected typical station, based on the strong motion parameters: equivalent predominant frequency and Arias intensity. The result exhibits a good agreement with the Chinese seismic intensity scale. This study would be helpful to gain a better knowledge of the characteristics and variability of ground motions for M_S6 class earthquakes in China and to understand the implications to future earthquakes with similar focal mechanism and local condition.     

Variation of earthquake ground motions within a very small distance

At present, dense strong motion observation networks have been established in Japan. One of the important findings based on these networks is that strong ground motions are quite site-dependent. Characteristics of observed ground motions at nearby stations can exhibit a significant variation, even when the stations are within several hundreds of meters. These observations raise one important question; if characteristics of strong ground motions exhibit large variations even for smaller regions, we should be concerned about the application of observed or predicted ground motions for the assessment of structures. In particular, if ground-motion parameters such as PGA, PGV, Spectral Intensity, etc., exhibit large variations for smaller regions, their use for the seismic design and practice will be subject to restriction. In other words, the evaluation of variation of these parameters is an important issue. From such a point of view, the authors investigated the variation of observed ground motions within a very small distance in this study. First of all, fifteen couples of adjacent strong motion stations in Japan, where the distance is within 100 m, were listed up based on our field reconnaissance. Then, microtremor measurements were carried out at each of the station pairs. Next, variation of recorded earthquake ground motions for the station pairs was examined based on various ground motion parameters and response spectra. Moreover, we investigated the key factor which is affecting the variation of observed ground motions.     

Correlations of three-component ground motions from the 23 June 2010 Val-des-Bois, Québec, earthquake

In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of three-component ground motions recorded during the $M_\text{w}\,5.2$ Val-des-Bois (Québec) earthquake, which occurred on the 23 June 2010. The earthquake is the largest recorded event in eastern Canada within the last decade. The records analyzed were provided by a strong motion monitoring network, comprising accelerometers located at sites with different soil conditions. The two orthogonal horizontal components and one vertical component at each recording station are uncorrelated to determine their principal directions, and the results obtained are used to characterize intensity ratios between the three uncorrelated components. A new hodograph representation is proposed to highlight the correlation between accelerations and displacement trajectories along various time increments at each recording station. The principal components are discussed in light of seismographic data, local site conditions, and trajectories. Time–frequency analyses of the uncorrelated records are also conducted to compare the distribution of spectral amplitudes and frequency content along the three principal components during the shaking. The results of this work shed more light on the characteristics of three-component ground motions from an important Eastern North America earthquake, and could be used to calibrate simulated multicomponent ground motions in this region.     

2015年尼泊尔MS8.1地震震源区S波三维速度结构与强震发生机理研究

利用2001-2003年期间在2015年4月12日尼泊尔M_S8.1级强震震源区流动地震观测记录到的连续波形数据,提取了5~25 s周期的瑞利波相速度频散曲线,并构建了尼泊尔地震震源区二维瑞利波相速度分布图像.以0.5°×0.5°为网格大小将研究区网格化,采用NA算法反演得到尼泊尔地震震源地区三维S波速度结构.结果显示,在上地壳,以主前锋逆冲断裂带（MFT）为界,其以北地区为高波速异常,而其以南为明显低波速异常;在中地壳,以藏南拆离系（STDS）为界,南北两侧速度结构也存在明显差别,以南地区为明显高波速异常,而以北地区为明显低波速异常.这些结构特征说明,印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞挤压作用形成地幔热物质上涌并造成地壳物质部分熔融,并由此形成了东西向拉张的南北向裂谷.2015年尼泊尔M_S8.1级主震和最大余震均发生于高低波速异常过渡区且偏向高波速异常区,暗示了这样的波速异常区易于积累能量孕育强震.主震和最大余震的南侧均存在明显的低波速异常,与主喜马拉雅滑脱断裂带（MHT）相对应,可能代表部分熔融或深部流体作用于主边界断裂带（MBT）附近的MHT断裂带,降低断层面上的有效正应力,从而触发尼泊尔强震及最大余震的发生.主震与最大余震之间的余震分布于高低波速异常变化较为明显的地区,说明研究区内地震的发生受震源区附近的速度结构控制.     

2012年云贵彝良-威宁MS5.5和MS5.6地震的地震动随机特性

2012年9月7日我国西南云贵交界彝良-威宁地区连续发生两次M_S5.5和M_S5.6中强地震,其时间间隔短,震中位置接近,震级相差很小,为中强地震地震动的随机特性分析研究提供了难得的强震动数据. 本文从集系与样本函数两方面考虑,通过加速度时程的相关函数研究了地震动随机过程的相关特性. 结果表明: 两次地震集系的相关矩阵均为随机相关,互相关矩阵较自相关矩阵表现出更强的随机性;两次地震在同一个台站记录的加速度时程所构成的集系,其相关性较两次地震单独构成的集系好;样本函数的相关函数均呈现不规则震荡衰减的特点,且两个采样值间时滞越大,其样本函数相关性越小. 相比大震(如我国台湾地区的集集地震),中强地震地震动记录的相关矩阵及分解后的自相关函数均表现出不同的特点. 由于这两次地震的地震动幅值相比大震较小,土层非线性影响较弱,故本文结果为认识地震动的随机特性提供了新的参考依据.      

comprehensive study on the changing process of focal mechanisms of the 2014 huoshan ms4.3 earthquake sequence

In this paper, the focal mechanisms of Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake sequence since October 2013 are calculated with the method developed recently by Snoke, which combines the use of first motion of P, SV and SH waves and their amplitude ratios(referred to as Snoke method). We estimate the difference(also referred to consistency parameter θ)between the stress axis direction of focal mechanism solution and the mean stress tensor on one hand, and get the relative changes of focal mechanisms rather than the focal mechanisms themselves on the other hand, by using methods of correlation coefficient of body-wave spectral amplitudes, first motions and amplitude ratios of vertical P wave of single station, as limited by the network layout and density of observation points, focal mechanism solutions of small earthquakes are not easy to obtain. We studied the changing process of focal mechanisms of Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake sequence since October 2013 with many methods such as consistency parameter, correlation coefficient of body-wave spectral amplitudes, first motion and amplitude ratio of vertical P wave of single station, to determine the type of the sequence. The result shows that: before Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake of April 20, 2014, the consistency parameter of the earthquake sequence was lower than the mean for a long period, correlation coefficient of body-wave spectral amplitudes was always at high values(about 0.9), odds ratio of first motions of vertical P wave of single station near the epicenter, defined as the ratio of predominant number to contrast number of first motions, was up to 13.8 at station SJH, 3.8 at BZY and 3.6 at LNA, respectively; first motions of vertical P wave of single station showed an obvious predominant distribution as a whole, and the amplitude ratios of vertical P were consistent, which suggests that before Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake, focal mechanisms were consistent, so the earthquake sequence before Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake is the foreshock sequence. After Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake, correlation coefficient of body-wave spectral amplitudes was lower(about 0.6), first motions and amplitude ratios of vertical P wave of single station were in disorder, which suggest that the focal mechanisms are inconsistent after the Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake, so the earthquake sequence after Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake is the aftershock sequence, and subsequent larger earthquakes are not likely to occur. The focal mechanisms in Huoshan region during the period of Huoshan M_S4.3 earthquake experienced a process from scattering to convergency and to scattering again.
