考虑介质对地震波吸收衰减作用的场地放大效应估计

当参考场地震源距小于研究场地震源距时，传统谱比法低估了场地放大效应，且参考场地与研究场地震源距相差越大，低估程度越大；当参考场地震源距大于研究场地震源距时，传统谱比法高估了场地放大效应，且参考场地与研究场地震源距相差越大，高估程度越大，计算结果依赖参考场地的选择。上述问题存在的原因是传统谱比法估计场地放大效应时未考虑地震波传播过程中介质的吸收衰减作用，故传统谱比法适用于参考场地与研究场地地质构造类似且震源距相差较小的情况，为此本文通过考虑介质对地震波的吸收衰减作用，提出改进谱比法，可适用于地质构造类似、任意震源距的情况。本文分别采用未改进方法和改进方法估计汶川地震中渭河盆地多个台站场地反应，证实了传统谱比法存在的上述问题。采用改进谱比法估计的场地放大倍数均在2 Hz以下出现1个峰值，且这些峰值多为最大值；采用未改进谱比法估计的场地放大倍数峰值出现的频率多大于2 Hz；改进谱比法可信度较高。

Estimation of Site Amplification Effect Considering the Absorption and Attenuation of Seismic Waves by the Medium

When the reference field source distance is less than the research field source distance, the traditional spectral ratio method underestimates the site amplification effect. The greater the difference between the two source distances, the greater the degree of underestimation; when the reference field source distance is greater than the research field source distance, the traditional spectral comparison method overestimates the site magnification effect. The greater the distance between the two sources, the greater the degree of overestimation. The calculation result depends on the selection of the reference site. The reason for the above problems is that the traditional spectral ratio method does not consider the absorption and attenuation of the medium during the propagation of seismic waves when estimating the site amplification effect. Therefore, the traditional spectral ratio method is suitable for situations where the geological structure of the research site and the reference site are similar, and the seismic source distance is small. Therefore, we consider the absorption and attenuation of seismic waves by the medium, and propose an improved spectral ratio method, which can be applied to the situation where the geological structure is similar and the source distance is arbitrary. In this paper, the unimproved method and the improved method are used to estimate the field response of multiple stations in the Weihe Basin of the Wenchuan earthquake, which confirms the above-mentioned problems of the traditional spectral ratio method. The site amplification rate estimated by the improved spectral ratio method has a peak below 2 Hz, and most of these peaks are the maximum; the site amplification peak estimated by the uncorrected spectral ratio method occurs with a frequency higher than 2 Hz. The improved spectral ratio method has higher reliability.
