Simulating Strong Ground Motion from Complex Sources by Reciprocal Green Functions
We have developed a method to calculate site and path effects for complex heterogeneous media using synthetic Green’s functions. The Green’s functions are calculated numerically by imposing body forces at the site of interest and then storing the reciprocal Green’s functions along arbitrary finite-fault surfaces. By using reciprocal Green’s functions, we can then simulate many source scenarios ...
متن کاملStrong ground motion simulation using shear dislocation sources
Paper presents the generation and implementation of various types of earthquake sources in a 2D finite difference grid. The procedure used for computing dislocations on the fault plane is identical to both well known kinematic and dynamic models, since it was calculated by solving the equation of motion taking into account the stress drop and the shear strength of the fault. This scheme is supe...
متن کاملPROPERTIES 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 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...
متن کاملVariations of Strong Earthquake Ground Motion In
Accelerograms recorded at six stations in the metropolitan Los Angeles area during the Borrego Mountain, 1968, the Lytle Creek, 1970, and the San Fernando, 1971, earthquakes in southern California have been studied. In comparing the ground motions recorded during different earthquakes at each of the six stations and in correlations of these motions recorded at different stations during the same...
