近场强震动记录基线校正方法的振动台实验研究

为了获取近场永久位移,通常采用基线校正方法,对近场加速度记录进行基线校正并积分得到永久位移值,但这一结果主观性较强,其可靠性也往往缺乏验证。为了解决这一问题,本文提出了一种能产生包含永久位移振动过程的振动台实验方案,采用振动台加滑动机构的方法,模拟记录到永久位移台站测点的真实振动情况;在实验中分别采用加速度计、摄影测量方法分别直接得到加速度和位移时程,对加速度时程进行基线校正并积分得到位移时程,将其与直接获得的位移时程进行对比,以验证采用基线校正方法的有效性。实验结果表明,在实验室条件下采用现有的基线校正方法校正后,通过积分能得到可以接受的位移时程。     

由近断层强震记录得到的断层位错过程对管道的影响分析

在近些年的几次大地震中,例如,汶川地震和集集地震等,获得了不少近断层乃至断层上的加速度强震记录.这些近断层加速度强震记录对研究近断层的地震动特征(如速度脉冲、方向性效应)、震源机制等具有重要的意义.通过对断层附近的加速度记录进行2次积分,并经过适当基线校正后得到断层位错时程,发现其位移峰值往往大于断层的永久位移量.而目前埋地管道在断层位错下的反应分析方法一般直接输入的是断层的永久位移量.

分析了 92 1台湾集集地震近断层强震记录基线偏移的原因 ,指出强震仪的倾斜是导致近断层强震记录基线偏移的主要原因 ,并提出了相应的基线校正方法 ,比较好地消除了近断层强震记录的基线偏移。根据作者的研究 ,原始记录经基线初始化之后 ,基线偏移对反应谱在工程界最感兴趣的0 .1～ 6s周期范围内的影响是很小的 ,对PGA的影响也很小 ,但对PGV ,PGD和永久位移 (D -last)的影响则相当大。因此 ,对近断层强震记录进行基线校正具有重要的意义。文中所提出的基线校正方法 ,可应用于对 1999年土耳其地震及 92 1台湾集集地震余震产生的近断层强震记录和其他近断层强震记录的基线校正     

一种新的数字强震记录基线偏移校正方法的探讨

由于受到强震仪低频噪声、仪器周围环境和人为信号处理误差的影响,由强震仪得到的加速度记录进行积分后得到的位移曲线呈现了比较严重的漂移。所以,我们要进行加速度记录校正。国内外的学者对此开展了大量的工作和研究,也获得了许多成果。基于在前人的基础上,提出一种线性校正方法,以汶川地震作为研究对象,对杨陵台和周至台的加速度记录进行校正,得到了比较好的校正效果,此方法可用于大震中近场仪器会发生倾斜或产生永久位移的加速度记录进行基线校正。     

电流计记录式强震加速度仪记录的失真及其校正

本文详细地研究了电流计记录式加速度仪的频率响应失真对强震加速度记录的影响,提出了对失真记录进行校正的两种方法:假想摆法和微分-积分法。计算与实验结果表明:这两种方法都能给出满意的结果,均可推广使用。作为实例,对1976丰11月15日宁河地震(M_L:7.1)的强震加速度记录进行了校正,最大校正量(幅值)达35％。此外,还对比了由失真加速度记录和校正加速度记录计算的位移曲线,表明这种校正工作对获得准确的地震位移曲线是十分必要的。

近场大位移下GPS与强震仪记录的差异性分析

本文用频域仿真的方法对强震仪加速度记录积分得到位移记录,引入相关系数分析了大位移作用下的强震仪与GPS位移记录的一致性和差异性,结果表明,稳定激发下,两者水平向位移记录的初始相关系数均超过0.8,具有较大的相似度,但仍存在一定的幅值差异,本文主要通过对比分析大位移实验和稳定激发实验来研究该差异性。分析了大位移实验的信噪频谱,大位移实验与稳定激发实验的信号频谱,认为在大位移实验中,强震仪在问题频段的记录很有可能是信号而非噪声。随后,在转角时程中发现,在大转角位移作用下,强震仪和GPS位移记录的差异性表现得更明显,这可能是强震仪受工作原理限制,无法记录到旋转位移所致。随后,本文依据GPS记录的转角信息对强震仪位移进行修正,校正后的位移记录幅值差异明显减小,可以认为由工作原理差异致使参考坐标系的不同是引起两者记录幅值差异的主要原因,同时,也说明GPS能有效的校正强震仪在有转角的复杂观测环境下的位移记录。     

1999年台湾集集地震震源破裂过程

使用GPS同震位移资料和远场P波记录,研究了1999年台湾集集地震震源破裂过程．根据地质构造和余震分布引入了一个由弯曲断层面构造的三段“铲状”断层模型．在使用静态GPS位移资料反演集集地震的断层破裂滑动分布时,由于集集地震断层北部近地表破裂的复杂性,在位错模型中考虑拉张分量对地表同震位移的贡献,可更好地同时拟合GPS观测资料的水平和垂向分量．而纯剪切位错弹性半空间模型和分层地壳模型都无法同时拟合水平和垂向GPS观测资料．在此基础上,同时使用静力学同震位移资料和远场地震波形记录,反演集集地震的震源破裂过程．结果表明,一种垂直于断层面的“挤压性”(负)拉张分量几乎集中分布于地震断层的浅部和北部转折处,而这一带地表破裂远较没有(负)拉张分量出现的南部断层复杂．“冒起构造”的数字模拟表明,这种在集集地震破裂转折处及北部断裂带广为出现的典型破裂造成的地表位移可以用具有负拉张分量(挤压)的逆冲断层更好地模拟．而这种负拉张分量(挤压)的分布正是地震破裂性质和几何复杂性的综合反映,震源破裂过程也显示北部转折处破裂在空间和时间上的复杂性.高滑区域与余震分布表现为负相关.     

数字强震仪记录的长周期误差分析

对四种型号的数字强震仪作了振动台试验分析，发现加速度记录的背景噪声水平均较低，但均存在零线变动现象。所产生的长周期误差对加速度记录影响极小，但使积分位移产生很大的零线漂移，因而无法直接积分得到可靠的位移过程。在对不同校正方法进行了比较研究之后，提出了一种校正处理方法。     

Wavelet‐based simulation of spectrum‐compatible aftershock accelerograms

In damage‐based seismic design it is desirable to account for the ability of aftershocks to cause further damage to an already damaged structure due to the main shock. Availability of recorded or simulated aftershock accelerograms is a critical component in the non‐linear time‐history analyses required for this purpose, and simulation of realistic accelerograms is therefore going to be the need of the profession for a long time to come. This paper attempts wavelet‐based simulation of aftershock accelerograms for two scenarios. In the first scenario, recorded main shock and aftershock accelerograms are available along with the pseudo‐spectral acceleration (PSA) spectrum of the anticipated main shock motion, and an accelerogram has been simulated for the anticipated aftershock motion such that it incorporates temporal features of the recorded aftershock accelerogram. In the second scenario, a recorded main shock accelerogram is available along with the PSA spectrum of the anticipated main shock motion and PSA spectrum and strong motion duration of the anticipated aftershock motion. Here, the accelerogram for the anticipated aftershock motion has been simulated assuming that temporal features of the main shock accelerogram are replicated in the aftershock accelerograms at the same site. The proposed algorithms have been illustrated with the help of the main shock and aftershock accelerograms recorded for the 1999 Chi–Chi earthquake. It has been shown that the proposed algorithm for the second scenario leads to useful results even when the main shock and aftershock accelerograms do not share the same temporal features, as long as strong motion duration of the anticipated aftershock motion is properly estimated.

The use of optimization to construct critical accelerograms for given structures and sites

In this paper a methodology has been presented for constructing the most critical accelerogram from among a be class of candidate accelerograms for a given site and structure. This most critical accelerogram could be used to assess seismic resistance of a structure with a high level of confidence. Specifically, the method superimposes accelerograms recorded at similar sites to create the candidate accelerograms, then uses optimization and approximation techniques find the most critical accelerogram. The most critical accelerogram is defined as the one which maximizes damage is structure, as computed by non-linear dynamic structural analysis, as well as satisfies constraints on ground parameters to ensure credibility. The damage has been defined as cumulative inelastic energy dissipation or sure of interstorey drifts. The method is applied to ten examples in the paper.     

On the reliability of long‐period response spectral ordinates from digital accelerograms

Using records from co‐located broadband and digital strong motion (SM) instruments, it is first shown that the displacement waveforms obtained by double integration of the accelerogram need not be free of unrealistic baseline drift to yield reliable spectral ordinates up to at least 10 s. Secondly, to provide objective criteria for selecting reliable digital SM records for ground motion predictions at long periods, a set of synthetic accelerograms contaminated by random long‐period noise has been used, and the difference between the original accelerograms and the spurious ones in terms of response spectra has been quantified, by introducing a noise index that can be easily calculated based on the velocity waveform of the record. The results of this study suggest that high‐pass filtering the digital acceleration record from a cutoff period selected to suppress baseline drifts on the displacement waveform appears to be in most cases too conservative and unduly depletes reliable information on long‐period spectral ordinates.

数字化噪声对强震记录的影响及其消除方法

本文详细地分析了强震加速度记录的数字化噪声。分析表明:数字化噪声由数字化设备的系统误差和操作者的随机读数误差迭加而成,随机数字化误差是具有各态历经性质的,其振幅按高斯规律分布的平稳随机过程,在其频谱组成中,长周期分量占明显的优势,因此将对二次积分加速度记录的位移曲线产生严重的影响。 研究表明:随机数字化噪声位移主要分布在周期大于25秒的频段,对加速度记录来说,分布在周期小于25秒的频段内,其随机噪声是相当小的(假定记录纸速为1厘米/秒)。因此,利用数字滤波技术,可以除去数字化加速度记录中的大部份随机数字化噪声。 作为实例,对一个典型的强震加速度记录进行了滤波,给出了低噪声的加速度记录和由此算出的位移曲线,且和未经滤波的相应记录及其位移进行了比较。

基于小波变换的拟合规范反应谱多维地震动模拟

本文提出一种基于小波变换的拟合规范反应谱的多维地震动模拟算法。首先将规范反应谱推广到三维相关设计反应谱,然后将已有的三维地震动加速度时间历程曲线分解为一系列不同频段上的地震动分量,调整每一个地震动分量的幅值使其在相应的频率范围内拟合设计反应谱,最后经过调整后的地震动分量进行重构得到更新的地震动时间历程曲线。将该时间历程曲线的反应谱与目标反应谱进行比较,重复该过程直到误差位于特定的范围内。该方法可以保留原始地震动的局部时-频特性,为多维地震动的模拟提供了一种新的方法。     

Wavelet-based generation of spectrum-compatible time-histories

This paper deals with the well-known problem of generating spectrum-compatible synthetic accelerograms for the linear and non-linear time-history analyses of structural systems. A wavelet-based procedure has been used to decompose a recorded accelerogram into a desired number of time-histories with non-overlapping frequency contents, and then each of the time-histories has been suitably scaled for matching of the response spectrum of the revised accelerogram with a specified design spectrum. The key idea behind this iterative procedure is to modify a recorded accelerogram such that the temporal variations in its frequency content are retained in the synthesized accelerogram. The proposed procedure has been illustrated by modifying five recorded accelerograms of widely different characteristics such that those are compatible with the same USNRC design spectrum.     

Generation of accelerograms compatible with design specifications using information theory

This paper deals with the generation of seismic accelerograms which are compatible with a given response spectrum and other design specifications. The time sampling of the stochastic accelerogram yields a time series represented by a random vector in high dimension. The probability density function of this random vector is constructed using the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) principle under constraints defined by the available information (design specifications). In this paper, an adapted algorithm is proposed to identify the Lagrange multipliers introduced in the MaxEnt principle to take into account the constraints. This algorithm is based on (1) the minimization of an appropriate convex functional and (2) the construction of the probability distribution defined as the invariant measure of an Itô stochastic differential equation in order to estimate the integrals in high dimension of the problem. The constraints related to a seismic accelerogram are developed explicitly. This methodology is validated through an application for which the available information is related to the variance of each component of the random vector representing the accelerogram, statistics on the response spectrum, on the peak ground acceleration, on the cumulative absolute velocity and on the end-values for the velocity and for the displacement.
