Long-period Ground Motion from a Great Earthquake
Direct body waves and fundamental surface waves are calculated for a credible, hypothetical great earthquake on the San Andreas Fault. The prototype event assumed is the Fort Tejon earthquake of January 9, 1857. Amplitudes and durations of long-period ground motion ( T > 1 sec) are found for a receiver in downtown Los Angeles. Calculations are carried out for various epicenters, dislocation pro...
متن کاملCharacterizing Long-Period Ground Motions Using Bayesian Model Class Selection
National (or regional) seismic hazard maps, determined from probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, quantify the expected intensity of shaking in a region(s) over the course of one or more desired time interval(s). Building codes use these maps to define the lateral force levels for the design of new and the retrofit of existing structures. In the past, the maps depicted the shaking intensity me...
متن کاملMulticomponent C3 Green’s Functions for Improved Long-Period Ground-Motion Prediction
The virtual earthquake approach to ground-motion prediction uses Green’s functions (GFs) determined from the ambient seismic field to predict long-period shaking from scenario earthquakes. The method requires accurate relative GF amplitudes between stations and among components; however, the amplitudes of ambient-field GFs are known to be subject to biases from uneven source distribution. We sh...
متن کاملGround Motion Model for the Lhc
A ground motion model based on geo-physical arguments is presented. The purpose of this model is to predict possible beam separation in the interaction regions of the LHC due to ground motion developing in time spans in the order of seconds to hours. Although this model can also be used to predict statistical movement of accelerator objects on a larger time scale (yearly alignment) its usefulne...
متن کاملHyperacuity thresholds of 1 sec: theoretical predictions and empirical validation.
Bisection thresholds were measured as a function of the separation of the lines. For separations of less than 1.5 min, the addition of flanking lines facilitates bisection so that thresholds of less than 1 sec for discriminating the direction of offset could be reliably obtained. For larger separations an interval could be bisected to an accuracy of 1 part in 60. Experiments varying the length,...
