On Correlation of Seismoscope Response with Earthquake Magnitude and Modified Mercalli Intensity by M. D. Trifunac and A. G. Brady
A quantitative measure of the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale for earthquakes in ~he western United States has been developed by correlating the peak seismoscope relative displacement response, Sd, with the reported site intensity, IMM. This correlation can be approximated by
متن کاملA STUDY ON THE DURATION OF STRONG EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTION BY MI D. TRIFUNAC AND A. G. BRADY A simple definition of the duration of strong earthquake ground motion based on the mean-square integral of motion
A simple definition of the duration of strong earthquake ground motion based on the mean-square integral of motion has been presented. It is closely related to that part of the strong motion which contributes significantly to the seismic energy as recorded at a point and to the related spectral amplitudes. Correlations have been established between the duration of strong-motion acceleration, ve...
متن کاملEarthquake intensity distributions: a new view
Pioneering work by Nicolas Ambraseys and many collaborators demonstrates both the tremendous value of macroseismic data and the perils of its uncritical assessment. In numerous publications he shows that neglect of original sources and/or failure to appreciate the context of historical accounts, as well as use of unreliable indicators such as landsliding to determine intensities, commonly leads...
متن کاملChapter 2 : Introduction to Dynamics Basic Quantities from Earthquake Records
Basic Quantities from Earthquake Records Earthquakes are complex, dynamic events. In order to describe and work with them, a vocabulary of terms is necessary. Terms describing the intensity or magnitude of an earthquake give the engineer a quick estimate of the degree of shaking and damage one would expect. Other values reflect the time history of the earthquake such as acceleration, velocity, ...
متن کاملseismic z factors and intensity provinces of iranian earthquakes.
based on, historical seismicity, position of 19-century instrumental epicenters, fault zones, relation of seismicity with active faults, and structural geology, statistics of earthquake activites, model studies for estimation of acceleration, and other information of intensities of iranian earthquakes, and for simplicity in the usage, the country is divided into two intensity provinces. in the ...
