PROPERTIES OF STRONG GROUND MOTION EARTHQUAKES* By
THE USUAL type of California earthquake is associated with a relative horizontal slipping of the two faces of a fault which lies essentially in a vertical plane. As a consequence of this slipping, the surface of the ground experiences a severe motion in the neighborhood of the fault during large earthquakes. This surface ground motion can be measured, and for the relatively small number of stro...
متن کاملA Strong Ground Motion Catalogue of Selected Records for Shallow Crustal, Near Field Earthquakes in Iran
Understanding strong ground motions in the near-fault areas is important for seismic risk assessment in densely populated areas. In the past, lack of information on strong ground motion for large and moderate earthquakes led to the use of mainly far field large and moderate earthquake records in equations for calculation of the strong ground motion parameters. In this article, we collected and ...
متن کاملPreliminary Analysis for Characteristics of Strong Ground Motion from Gigantic Earthquakes
The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake (Mw9.0), which produced many strong motion records, provides an opportunity to examine the characteristics of strong ground motion from a gigantic earthquake. In this paper, the preliminary analysis of the ground motion attenuation, spectral shape and duration was performed using the selected strong motion records of the earthquake. The result...
متن کاملAPPLICATION OF WAVELET THEORY IN DETERMINING OF STRONG GROUND MOTION PARAMETERS
Cumulative absolute velocity (CAV), Arias intensity (AI), and characteristic intensity (CI) are measurable characteristics to show collapse potential of structures, evaluation of earth movement magnitude, and detection of structural failure in an earthquake. In this paper, parameters which describe three characteristics of ground motion have been investigated by using wavelet transforms (WT). I...
متن کاملTilts in Strong Ground Motion
Most instruments used in seismological practice to record ground motion are pendulum seismographs, velocigraphs, or accelerographs. In most cases it is assumed that seismic instruments are only sensitive to the translational motion of the instrument’s base. In this study the full equation of pendulum motion, including the inputs of rotations and tilts, is considered. It is shown that tilting th...
