2008年汶川地震近断层地震动的非平稳特征

利用中国强震动台网获得的汶川地震近断层强震动数据,研究汶川地震近断层地震动的强度和频率的非平稳特征,并对其非平稳特征的原因进行初步分析.研究表明近断层地震动强度和频率表现出很强的非平稳特性,这种非平稳特征主要受震源破裂机制、台站方位和局部场地条件的影响.破裂传播正向和反方向上地震动强度和频率的时间过程有显著的不同.在破裂正向上,地震动加速度记录表现为大幅值、短持时的强度过程,强度过程的持续时间为15 s左右,加速度时程的主要周期约为0.4 s,地震动速度时程有较明显的速度脉冲,脉冲周期可以达到8 s;在破裂的反方向上,地震动强度过程的时间跨度长达90 s,加速度记录的主要周期约为0.6 s,速度时程中没有明显的脉冲.小波功率谱的分析结果表明破裂正向上速度脉冲表现为在很小的时间尺度和频域内能量的集中,值得注意的是,观测到的速度脉冲的周期长达8 s,比Chi-Chi地震和Kobe地震中观测到的脉冲周期要长,这可能与汶川地震的震级相对较大有关.

近断层地震动等效速度脉冲研究

近断层地震动对地表结构物造成严重的破坏,它具有明显的方向性和脉冲型特征. 在速度时程中含有大幅值、长周期的脉冲波,对结构响应影响很大. 为简化计算和分析的需要,在既有的等效速度脉冲模型的基础上,建议了较为合理等效速度脉冲模型. 在充分收集脉冲型近断层地震记录的基础上,对等效速度脉冲模型的脉冲周期、脉冲强度及卓越脉冲数等参数进行了研究,并与以往研究者的结果进行比较,以利于近断层区结构的抗震设计.     

近断层地震动和单自由度体系地震反应的分形特征分析

从分形几何的新视角出发,分析近断层地震动的不规则性和复杂性.利用盒维数法计算了来自台湾集集地震和美国北岭地震的30条近断层地震动加速度时程的分形维数.计算结果表明,这些地震动加速度时程具有统计分形特征.近断层地震动运动特征对其分维数影响明显,滑冲效应脉冲地震动的分维数平均值最小,向前方向性效应脉冲地震动的分维数平均值居中,无脉冲地震动的分维数平均值最大,其波形不规则程度也最高.而且,地震动时程的分维数反映了其频谱特性,可作为频谱周期的表征参数.地震动的分维数D与特征周期Tc具有较强的负相关关系.最后,对于近断层地震动作用下单自由度(SDOF)体系的弹性和非弹性动力反应时程,应用盒维数法计算了其分形维数,考察了其分形性质.     

近断层速度脉冲型地震动特征周期的估计与调整

基于美国NGA数据库,在断层投影距小于25 km范围内挑选了1387条地震加速度记录,分别按照断层距和场地条件进行分组,对近断层速度脉冲型地震动的频谱特性、特征周期,及其与断层距、震级的相关性予以分析。结果显示:① 出现速度脉冲型地震动的比例与断层投影距之间存在明显的线性相关关系,但其与震级的变化不相关;② 地震动速度脉冲周期与震级之间存在强相关;③ 对于近断层速度脉冲型地震动,采用动态变化的加速度和速度反应谱峰值周期进行特征周期的计算,更加符合真实情况;④ 地震动速度脉冲有放大地震动特征周期的作用,水平向放大的比例与竖向相当,且放大作用与场地条件相关,在较硬场地上放大较多。本文基于上述近断层地震动的统计分析结果,对现行抗震设计规范中定义的特征周期提出了适合于工程应用的调整系数,并建立了速度脉冲周期与震级之间的关系模型,分析结果显示二者的拟合效果较好。      

近断层地震动作用下设计速度反应谱研究

近断层地震动是一种特点明显且破坏力巨大的地面运动,其速度反应谱与远场地震动的速度反应谱有显著不同。本文从美国太平洋地震工程研究中心（PEER）强震数据库选取具有特定震级、震源机制、土层剪切波速和断层距的30条近断层地震记录作为输入;运用状态空间法,利用MATLAB进行地震动作用下单自由度体系的运动方程计算得到体系的速度反应谱;通过标准化、求均值的方法研究速度反应谱的特征;按照速度反应谱峰值对应的周期对所选的30条地震记录进行分组,并用分段线性拟合方法建立了设计速度反应谱;通过不同组的设计速度反应谱与速度反应谱平均值的对比,验证本文提出的设计速度反应谱的合理性。研究结果表明,近断层地震动下的速度反应谱谱形包括四个阶段;结构的阻尼比对速度反应谱的谱形没有影响,但是会影响速度反应谱的谱峰值,结构阻尼比不同时,两两比较后的最大相对误差为16.68%。

Nonlocal period parameters of frequency content characterization for near-fault ground motions

This paper focuses on the frequency property analysis of near-fault ground motions with and without distinct pulses, separately from the Chi-Chi and Northridge earthquakes. Ten scalar period parameters of ground motions, especially several nonlocal period parameters, are considered. Two new nonlocal parameters, namely the mean period of Hilbert marginal spectrum (T_mh) and the improved characteristic period (T_gi), are suggested. Moreover, comprehensive comparison and analysis indicate that T_mh, T_gi and T_avg (average spectral period) can distinguish the low-frequency components of near-fault ground motions; T_m (mean period of Fourier amplitude spectrum) and T_o (smoothed spectral predominant period) represent the moderate- and high-frequency components, respectively. The variance coefficient of predominant instantaneous frequency of Hilbert spectrum (H_cov) can be regarded as an alternative index to measure the non-stationary degree of near-fault ground motions. Finally, the velocity pulses and earthquake magnitude remarkably affect the frequency parameters of near-fault ground motions. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fractal characterization and frequency properties of near-fault ground motions

This study explores the irregularity and complexity of strong earthquake ground motions from the perspective of fractal geometry, and constructs a relation with the frequency content of the ground motions. The box-counting fractal dimensions and five representative period parameters of near-fault ground motions from the Chi-Chi and Northridge earthquakes are calculated and compared. Numerical results indicate that the acceleration and velocity time histories of ground motions present the statistical fractal property, and the dominant pulses of near-fault ground motions have a significant influence on their box dimensions and periods. Further, the average box dimension of near-fault impulsive ground motions is smaller, and their irregular degree of wave forms is lower. Moreover, the box dimensions of ground motions reflect their frequency properties to a large extent, and can be regarded as an alternative indicator to represent their frequency content. Finally, the box dimension D of the acceleration histories shows a considerably negative correlation with the mean period T. Meanwhile, the box dimension of the velocity histories Dye is negatively correlated with the characteristic period T and improved characteristic period Tgi.

隔震结构在远震场地减震效果良好，但是近断层地震动的明显的长周期速度和位移脉冲运动可能对隔震建筑等长周期结构的抗震性能和设计带来不利影响，需要深入探讨。本文首先讨论近断层地震动的长周期脉冲运动特征，然后以台湾集集地震8条典型近震记录和其它4条常用近震记录以及4条远震记录作为地震动输入，对两幢安装铅芯橡胶隔震支座的钢筋混凝土框架隔震结构进行非线性地震反应时程分析，通过比较探讨了算例计算结果，定量说明隔震结构的近震脉冲效应显著，是隔震设计不容忽视的问题。     

近断层强震地面运动幅值与持时特性研究

近年来的强震地震观测资料研究显示,近断层地面运动具有区别于远场地震动的显著特征。在收集世界范围内近断层观测记录的基础上,按场地和震级进行分类,采用统计分析的方法研究了近断层地震动的峰值、反应谱谱值和持时特征。研究结果表明,由于方向性效应的影响,两个水平分量的峰值存在显著差异,反应谱的谱值更显著,震级对地震动持时的影响比断层距的影响要大得多,在此基础上,建立了近断层地震动水平向和竖向分量持时的回归关系式,并与其他研究者进行对比,说明了其合理性,为进一步研究提供参考。

Multifractal characteristic analysis of near-fault earthquake ground motions

This study aims to reveal the multi-scaling behavior and quantify the irregularity of near-fault earthquake ground motions from a new perspective of multifractal theory. Based on multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis, the multifractal characteristic parameters of acceleration time series for typical near-fault ground motions are calculated, and their correlations with two period parameters (i.e., mean period T_m and characteristic period T_c) and box-counting fractal dimensions are analyzed. Numerical results of strong nonlinear dependence of generalized Hurst exponents h(q) upon the fluctuation orders q indicate that near-fault ground motions present the multifractal properties and long-range correlation obviously. Furthermore, the scaling exponent h(2) of near-fault records has a strong correlation with their periods T_m and T_c, and strongly negative correlation with their box dimension. Moreover, h(2) can be regarded as a measure of frequency content and irregularity degree of strong earthquake ground motions. Finally, it is pointed out that the long-range correlation of small and large fluctuation is the major source of multifractality of near-fault ground motions.     

Study on elastic response of structures to near-fault ground motions through record decomposition

Accelerograms recorded near active faults have some important characteristics that make them different from those recorded in far-fault regions. High-frequency components in acceleration records and long-period velocity pulses are among notable specifications of such ground motions. In this paper, a moving average filtering with appropriate cut-off frequency has been used to decompose the near-fault ground motions into two components having different frequency contents: first, Pulse-Type Record (PTR) that possesses long-period pulses; second, the relatively high-frequency BackGround Record (BGR), which does not include large velocity pulses. Comparing the results with those extracted through wavelet analysis shows that moving average filter is an appropriate and efficient tool for near-fault records decomposition. The method is applied to decompose a suite of 91 selected near-fault records and the elastic response of structures is examined through their response to the decomposed parts. The results emphasizes that in contrast with ordinary far-fault earthquake records, response spectra of near-fault ground motions typically have two distinct local peaks, which are representatives of the high- and low-frequency components, i.e., BGR and PTR, respectively. Moreover, a threshold period is identified below which the response of structures is dominated by BGR while PTR controls the response of structures with periods longer than this period.     

Characteristics of frequency content of near-fault ground motions during the Chi-Chi earthquake

Introduction The dynamic response of structural systems subjected to earthquake ground shaking is sig-nificantly affected by the frequency content of input ground motions. When the frequency content of a predominant earthquake ground motion closely matches the natural period of a structural sys-tem, the dynamic response is significantly enhanced and thus may cause severe damage (Chopra, 1995). Therefore, it is of great importance to evaluate the frequency content of ground motions. In recent …
