In this context, non-invasive geophysical prospecting methods(microtremor and geoelectrical methods) and borehole data were used to detect subsurface geological structures(hidden faults) in a suburb of Shiraz in Iran. The horizontal to vertical spectral ratio(HVSR) method was used to obtain the dynamic parameters(predominant frequency and resonance amplitude) of the soil, to detect hidden faults. The results show that the abrupt changes in the sediment thickness and predominant frequencies at a specific direction(NW-SE) can be related to the displacement of a nearly vertical fault with NW-SE trend. In addition, the electrical resistivity method using continuous resistivity profiling(CRP) and Schlumberger arrays was employed to detect a hidden fault and the results were compared with previous data. The obtained results of both arrays illustrate the presence of a nearly vertical fault with NW-SE trend in the region. Comparison of all results shows that the detected faults by both methods are consistent with each other. Therefore, it can be conclusive that combination of the two methods is a useful and reliable approach to study and detect hidden faults.展开更多

文摘基于2018年松原5.7级地震的强震动记录,结合在强震台站获取的地脉动数据,采用水平与竖向谱比(horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio,HVSR)法和速度反应谱谱比(velocity response spectral ratio,VRSR)法,探究了强震台站场地的地震响应特征。结果表明:(1)地脉动水平与竖向谱比(horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio of microtremors,MHVR)法、强震动水平与竖向谱比(horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio of earthquake motions,EHVR)法以及VRSR都能较好地表征出场地地震响应峰值频段,达里巴、东三家子、风华以及宝甸等4个强震台站场地的(一阶)峰值频率范围分别为0.90~1.48 Hz,0.51~0.89 Hz,0.47~0.98 Hz,0.66~1.10 Hz;(2)同一场地条件下,MHVR,EHVR以及VRSR得出的场地放大系数差别较大,MHVR的放大系数最小,VRSR的放大系数整体较EHVR大,达里巴、东三家子、风华以及宝甸等4个强震台站场地与(一阶)峰值频率对应的放大系数范围分别为2.63~8.60,3.21~8.19,3.56~8.41以及4.14~7.96;(3)与MHVR相比,EHVR和VRSR都能较好地体现出地震动高频特征,且具有大致相同的变化趋势;(4)与EHVR相比,VRSR给出的低频信息更为丰富,但较为频繁的波动变化对峰值频率的快速识别具有一定程度的影响。该研究可为依托强震记录和地脉动数据开展场地地震响应分析提供参考,具有一定的工程应用价值。
