Determining site effects in densely populated cities built on basins can help to reduce the earthquake hazard. Site effects of Luoyang basin are estimated by the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio(HVSR) method using ambient noise records from a short-period dense array. The sites in Luoyang basin are sorted into three types according to the pattern of the HVSR curves. There are cases with a single clear peak, two clear peaks, and an unclear low frequency peak or multiple peaks, which correspond to there being one large impedance contrast interface, two large interfaces, and a moderate one beneath the sites, respectively. The site effects characterized by fundamental frequency from HVSR curves are affected by underlying sedimentary layers and depth of sedimentary basement. According to our results, the existence of thick sediment layer obviously lowers the fundamental frequency to the period range from 2 to 4 s in the downtown area of Luoyang city. The ground motion will amplify when through the sites and the buildings with height of 20–50 floors can resonate at the similar frequency domain. Site effects estimation using HVSR method from a short-period dense array is an effective technique in areas of moderate seismic risk where strong motion recordings are lacking, such as the Luoyang basin.展开更多

文摘The estimate of seismic site effects by experimental approaches is based on different assumptions aimed at simplifying the complex actual site conditions and related uncertainties.However,the reliability of the results can increase if the experimental data is focused on quite strong seismic sequences and the on-site acquisition of a large number of signals is deemed strategic for the assessment of the expected phenomena.Based on these considerations,the ground motion at the Red Zone sector of Amatrice hill,violently struck by the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic sequence,was analyzed via an observational approach.A large set of weak motions(moment magnitude Mw 2.5-3.9)was analyzed in this study by means of standard(SSR)and horizontal to vertical(HVSR)spectral ratio techniques.The results from the experimental analysis of the site effects by using weak motion and noise signals show a significant amplification at the top of Amatrice hill with a remarkable polarization of the motion and changes in spectral shapes according to the topographic setting of the relief.
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。
