Statistical Features of Short-Period and Long-Period Near-Source Ground Motions
This study collects recorded ground motions from the near-source region of large earthquakes and considers to what extent this historic record can inform expectations of future ground motions at similar sites. The distribution of observed peak ground acceleration (PGA) is well approximated by the lognormal distribution, and we expect the observed distribution to remain unchanged with the additi...
متن کاملWavelet-based Analysis for Pulse Period of Earthquake Ground-motions
Pulse period of earthquake records has been known as a key parameter in seismology and earthquake engineering. This paper presents a detailed characterization of this parameter for a special class of earthquake records called pulse-like ground motions. This type of motions often resulting from directivity effects is characterized by a strong pulse in the velocity time history of motion, in norm...
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 کاملReassessing the source of long-period comets.
We present numerical simulations to model the production of observable long-period comets (LPCs) from the Oort Cloud, a vast reservoir of icy bodies surrounding the Sun. We show that inner Oort Cloud objects can penetrate Jupiter's orbit via a largely unexplored dynamical pathway, and they are an important, if not the dominant, source of known LPCs. We use this LPC production to place observati...
