Nonlinear Analysis of Local Site Effects on Seismic Ground Response in the Bam Earthquake

The influence of local geologic and soil conditions on the intensity of ground shaking is addressed in this study. The amplification of the ground motion due to local site effects resulted in severe damage to dwellings in the Bam area during the 2003 Bam Earthquake. A unique set of strong motion acceleration recordings was obtained at the Bam accelerograph station. Although the highest peak ground acceleration recorded was the vertical component (nearly 1 g), the longitudinal component (fault-parallel motion) clearly had the largest maximum velocity as well as maximum ground displacement. Subsurface geotechnical and geophysical (down-hole) data in two different sites have been obtained and used to estimate the local site condition on earthquake ground motion in the area. The ground response analyses have been conducted considering the nonlinear behavior of the soil deposits using both equivalent linear and nonlinear approaches. The fully nonlinear method embodied in FLAC was used to evaluate the nonlinear soil properties on earthquake wave propagation through the soil layer, and compare with the response from the equivalent linear approach. It is shown that thick alluvium deposits amplified the ground motion and resulted in significant damage in residential buildings in the earthquake stricken region. The comparison of results indicated similar response spectra of the motions for both equivalent and nonlinear analyses, showing peaks in the period range of 0.3–1.5 s. However, the amplification levels of nonlinear analysis were less than the equivalent linear method especially in long periods. The observed response spectra are shown to be above the NEHRP building code design requirements, especially at high frequencies.     

A new fault rupture scenario for the 2003 Mw 6.6 Bam earthquake, SE Iran: Insights from the high-resolution QuickBird imagery and field observations

The December 26, 2003 M_w 6.6 Bam earthquake is one of the most disastrous earthquakes in Iran. QuickBird panchromatic and multispectral satellite imagery with 61 cm and 2.4 m ground resolution, respectively provide new insights into the surface rupturing process associated with this earthquake. The results indicate that this earthquake produced a 2–5 km-wide surface rupture zone with a complex geometric pattern. A 10-km-long surface rupture zone developed along the pre-existing Bam fault trace. Two additional surface rupture zones, each 2–5 km long, are oblique to the pre-existing Bam fault in angles of 20–35°. An analysis of geometric and geomorphic features also shows that movement on the Bam fault is mainly right-lateral motion with some compressional component. This interpretation is consistent with field investigations, analysis of aftershocks as well as teleseismic inversion. Therefore, we suggest that the 2003 Bam earthquake occurred on the Bam fault, and that the surface ruptures oblique to the Bam fault are caused by secondary faulting such as synthetic shears (Reidel shears). Our fault model for the Bam earthquake provides a new tectonic scenario for explaining complex surface deformations associated with the Bam earthquake.     

巴姆地震变形场和应力场：Ⅱ．用FEPG有限元方法求解

本文利用 FEPG 有限元程序对2003年12月的巴姆地震变形场和应力场进行了模拟计算。2003年12月26日,巴姆地区发生6.6级地震。Nakamura、Suzuki 等人利用余震资料和地震破坏程度的分布图分析了余震震中的统计分布形式,得到了此次地震的发震断层是巴姆断层以西大约5km 的 Arg-e-Bam 隐伏断层的结论。凌勇等人从差分干涉雷达(D-InSAR)出发,得到了此次地震的同震干涉条纹和雷达视线方向的位移场,并从雷达干涉的相干图上确定了发震断层的痕迹。他们还利用 Okada 程序模拟计算了此次地震的位移场,模拟计算的结果与 D-InSAR 测量的位移场比较符合。Okada 程序从断层的位错为出发点进行计算,从运动学角度对此次地震变形场和应力场进行研究;本文从动力学的角度出发,研究远场区域边界的应力状态以及断层的物性参数的变化对巴姆地震形变场的影响,将各种计算结果进行对比的同时也和前人的结果相比较。本文计算中采用了凌勇等人的断层参数,即 Arg-e-Bam 隐伏断层为近南北走向,向东倾斜,近直立的倾角,右旋走滑,其(Strike,dip,slip)为(175°,80°,173°)。断层未延伸到地表,自地面以下1km 处往下延伸16km 的宽度,断层长度为20km。对断层的杨氏模量、泊松比、断层附近区域的边界受力大小、两个主应力的比例以及主应力的方向的改变对计算结果的影响做了讨论。最后通过上述几组计算结果建立了一个与前人结果较为符合的巴姆地震参数模型。通过计算,一方面揭示了应力状态和物性参数的影响,另一方面也说明 Arg-e-Bam 隐伏断层是此次地震的发震断层这一结论是可信的。
