2013年岷县漳县M_(S)6.6地震和2017年九寨沟M_(S)7.0地震震前地球物理观测异常空间分布机理分析

对甘东南地区2013年岷县漳县M_(S)6.6地震和2017年九寨沟M_(S)7.0地震震前地球物理观测异常特征进行总结梳理。根据活动构造单元对地球物理观测台站进行区域划分,统计了相关构造单元上异常的数量和百分比,以及不同学科震前异常数量、百分比、异常持续时间等特征,并对异常的空间分布和机理进行分析,讨论了活动构造对异常分布的影响、异常强度与震源机制及断层应力之间的关系。结果表明:①2013年岷县漳县M_(S)6.6地震比2017年九寨沟M_(S)7.0地震震前地球物理观测异常百分比高,两次地震的震前电磁异常和跨断层水准测量异常均较为显著,而流体异常不明显;②震前地球物理观测异常分布与活动构造相关,2013年岷县漳县M_(S)6.6地震震前异常主要集中在东昆仑-西秦岭断裂带和六盘山-海原断裂带,2017年九寨沟M_(S)7.0地震震前异常则主要集中在龙门山断裂带和东昆仑-西秦岭断裂带;③两次地震震前地球物理观测异常分布均与GNSS速度场分布特征有较好的对应关系;④安德森断层应力模式解释了2013年岷县漳县M_(S)6.6地震(逆冲型)比2017年九寨沟M_(S)7.0地震(走滑型)的形成需要更多的应力积累,因此2013年岷县漳县M_(S)6.6地震虽然震级较小但震前异常更显著。

丽江与芦山两次M_(S)7.0地震震例回溯研究及亚失稳特征探讨

基于川滇地区的跨断层观测资料,采用多种形变分析方法,针对川滇地区监测状况较好的1996年丽江、2013年芦山两次M_(S)7.0地震开展震例回溯研究,并以亚失稳理论及实验室结果为指导,归纳总结跨断层观测获得的断层运动在亚失稳阶段的时空变化特征及可能的表现形式,寻找区域范围内断层运动协同化现象,探索地震进入亚失稳状态的跨断层识别标志。结果表明:两次地震前,震源区在震前数年主要表现为弱变形的状态,可能是孕震晚期发震断层闭锁、断层近场应力应变积累趋于极限的表现。震源区边缘附近300 km范围内在震前数月至3年出现显著的断层形变异常,断层活动具有协同化现象,但仅个别跨断层场地观测到了与实验室岩石破裂失稳过程类似的图像,大多数场地仅仅观测到了稳态(线性阶段)、亚稳态(偏离线性阶段)特征,亚失稳态特征并不清晰,分析可能与跨断层场地所处的构造位置及观测周期有一定关系。

基于Welch谱分析的全球M_(S)≥7.0地震活动应变能周期特征

利用Welch平均法周期图谱对1700—2019年全球M_(S)≥7.0地震的活动周期进行提取,结果显示:M_(S)7.0~7.9地震的周期约为8 a、10 a、51 a、11 a、17 a、12 a、19 a、39 a;M_(S)≥8.0地震的周期约为10 a、46 a、22 a、8 a、20 a。为了与太阳活动周期对比,利用傅里叶去多周期方法提取1749—2019年太阳黑子周期,显著性最高的周期约为10~11 a(平均10.9 a),其次约为90 a、67 a、8~9 a、54 a。对太阳黑子活动周期与M_(S)7.0~7.9、M_(S)≥8.0地震周期进行线性回归分析,分2种情况:其一为10个显著周期相关计算,其二为8~22 a 7个显著周期相关计算,均显示具有较高的相关性,相关系数均在0.95以上,但在7级水平地震中,前者相关系数高于后者约0.03,8级水平地震相关性基本一致。将本文提取的活动周期与前人研究结果进行综合分析,认为不同计算方法、研究对象(强震周期、太阳黑子周期、地磁主磁场周期)得到的约8 a、11 a、50 a周期是一致的,更长的周期(约80~100 a)在强震活动方面显著性不强。

2013年四川芦山M_(S)7.0地震仪器烈度与调查烈度对比分析

基于2013年四川芦山M_(S)7.0地震宏观调查点、调查烈度和强震仪记录数据,采用四川省地震局强震动监测技术组计算得到的各台仪器烈度值,绘制了芦山M_(S)7.0地震宏观调查点与调查烈度等震线和仪器烈度等值线分布图,分析了芦山M_(S)7.0地震的仪器烈度与调查烈度的对应关系。结果表明:仪器烈度与调查烈度有较好的对应关系,仪器烈度Ⅵ度点在调查烈度Ⅵ度以上区域总体占比为88.24%,仪器烈度Ⅶ度点在调查烈度Ⅶ度以上区域内总体占比为81.82%;仪器烈度的等值线高值范围可较好展示出地震灾害的程度;仪器烈度区的空间分布特征可表征芦山M_(S)7.0的发震断裂的控制作用,仪器烈度的等值线区总体呈现沿龙门山断裂带方向相对于垂直方向衰减慢;仪器烈度的等值线区发震断裂上盘影响范围相对发震断裂下盘影响范围大;仪器烈度分布与调查烈度分布既有对应关系又存在差异,这在震后短时间内灾区的震灾信息尚不清楚的情况下,能够快速对可能的震害涉及范围、人员伤亡分布、经济损失和生命线工程等损失作出预估,仪器烈度分布可以为应急救援决策、救灾方案制定和救灾力量部署等工作提供重要依据。

泸定M S6.8地震震前变形特征及鲜水河断裂南东段地震活动性

针对鲜水河断裂带南东段的历史地震活动性和近10 a该断裂带上发生的中小震群展布特征,利用GNSS观测数据给出2022年泸定M S6.8地震震源区及周边区域的速度场、应变率场,识别此次地震震前的变形特征。GNSS速度场显示,鲜水河断裂带南东段走滑速率约为10 mm/a,区域整体运动为ES向,与断裂构造运动具有一致性;应变率场结果显示,发震断裂仍存在较强的剪切应变积累,汶川特大地震后随着应变能不断释放,龙门山断裂带的卸载作用间接影响鲜水河断裂带的南东段,该断裂长期处于应变积累高值的过渡区,现今仍具有较高的断层闭锁状态,该地区的地震活动趋势和地震危险性值得进一步关注和研究。

基于GNSS的2023年2月23日塔吉克斯坦M_(S)7.2地震前异常资料变化特征研究

为了进一步探究中强地震发生前GNSS坐标时序中是否存在中短期异常现象,通过分析2023年2月23日塔吉克斯坦M_(S)7.2地震前后中国大陆构造环境监测网络(简称:“陆态网络”)塔什库尔干、布伦口GNSS基准站观测资料的变化特征,发现该地震震前塔什库尔干、布伦口均出现较为明显的GNSS基准站时间序列异常现象,震前EW向存在趋势性W向运动,震后E向加速;震前NS向趋势性S向运动,临震前状态快速改变,布伦口在震后还显示出7.3 mm的EW向永久性形变,研究结果表明GNSS在地震发生短临阶段具有重要的预测意义。与2015年12月7日塔吉克斯坦M S7.4地震进行对比发现,两次M S≥7.0地震对塔什库尔干、布伦口基准站的影响差异较大。2015年12月7日塔吉克斯坦M S7.4地震为左旋走滑,影响方向主要为NE向,而2023年2月23日塔吉克斯坦M_(S)7.2地震为右旋走滑,影响方向主要为SE向。震前基线均有挤压缩短的前兆异常显示。梳理站点异常出现情况,发现异常持续时间越长、异常出现次数越多,发震震级可能越大。

Geometry and tectonic deformation of the seismogenic structure for the 8 August 2017 M_S 7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake sequence,northern Sichuan, China

To reveal the geometry of the seismogenic structure of the Aug. 8, 2017 M_S 7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake in northern Sichuan,data from the regional seismic network from the time of the main event to Oct. 31, 2017 were used to relocate the earthquake sequence by the tomoDD program, and the focal mechanism solutions and centroid depths of the M_L ≥ 3.5 events in the sequence were determined using the CAP waveform inversion method. Further, the segmental tectonic deformation characteristics of the seismogenic faults were analyzed preliminarily by using strain rosettes and areal strains(As). The results indicate:(1) The relocated M_S 7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake sequence displays a narrow ～ 38 km long NNW-SSE-trending zone between the NW-striking Tazang Fault and the nearly NSstriking Minjiang Fault, two branches of the East Kunlun Fault Zone. The spatial distribution of the sequence is narrow and deep for the southern segment, and relatively wide and shallow for the northern segment. The initial rupture depth of the mainshock is 12.5 km, the dominant depth range of the aftershock sequence is between 0 and 10 km with an average depth of 6.7 km. The mainshock epicenter is located in the middle of the aftershock region, showing a bilateral rupture behavior. The centroid depths of 32 M_L ≥ 3.5 events range from 3 to 12 km with a mean of about 7.3 km, consistent with the predominant focal depth of the whole sequence.(2) The geometric structure of the seismogenic fault on the southern section of the aftershock area(south of the mainshock) is relatively simple, with overall strike of ～150° and dip angle ～75°, but the dip angle and dip-orientation exhibit some variation along the segment. The seismogenic structure on the northern segment is more complicated; several faults, including the Minjiang Fault, may be responsible for the aftershock activities. The overall strike of this section is ～159° and dip angle is ～59°, illustrating a certain clockwise rotation and a smaller dip angle than the southern segment. The differences between the two segments demonstrate variation of the geometric structure along the seismogenic faults.(3) The focal mechanism solutions of 32 M_L ≥ 3.5 events in the earthquake sequence have obvious segmental characteristics. Strike-slip earthquakes are dominant on the southern segment, while 50% of events on the northern segment are thrusting and oblique thrusting earthquakes, revealing significant differences in the kinematic features of the seismogenic faults between the two segments.(4) The strain rosettes for the mainshock and the entire sequence of 31 M_L ≥ 3.5 aftershocks correspond to strike-slip type with NWW-SEE compressional white lobes and NNE-SSW extensional black lobes of nearly similar size. The strain rosette and As value of the entire sequence of 22 M_L ≥ 3.5 events on the southern segment are the same as those of the M_S 7.0 mainshock,indicating that the tectonic deformation here is strike-slip. However, the strain rosette of the entire sequence of 10 M_L ≥ 3.5 events on the northern segment show prominent white compressional lobes and small black extensional lobes, and the related As value is up to 0.52,indicating that the tectonic deformation of this segment is oblique thrusting with a certain strike-slip component. Differences between the two segments all reveal distinctly obvious segmental characteristics of the tectonic deformation of the seismogenic faults for the Jiuzhaigou earthquake sequence.

Upper crustal velocity and seismogenic environment of the M7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake region in Sichuan, China

On August 8,2017,a magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurred in Jiuzhaigou County,Sichuan Province,China.The deep seismogenic environment and potential seismic risk in the eastern margin of Tibetan Plateau have once again attracted the close attention of seismologists and scholars at home and abroad.The post-earthquake scientific investigation could not identify noticeable surface rupture zones in the affected area;the complex tectonic background and the reason(s)for the frequent seismicity in the Jiuzhaigou earthquake region are unclear.In order to reveal the characteristics of the deep medium and the seismogenic environment of the M7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake region,and to interpret the tectonic background and genesis of the seismicity comprehensively,in this paper,we have reviewed all available observation data recorded by the regional digital seismic networks and large-scale,dense mobile seismic array(China Array)for the northern section of the North-South Seismic Belt around Jiuzhaigou earthquake region.Using double-difference seismic tomography method to invert the three-dimensional P-wave velocity structure characteristics of the upper crust around the Jiuzhaigou earthquake region,we have analyzed and discussed such scientific questions as the relationship between the velocity structure characteristics and seismicity in the Jiuzhaigou earthquake region,its deep tectonic environment,and the ongoing seismic risk in this region.We report that:the P-wave velocity structure of the upper crust around the Jiuzhaigoug earthquake region exhibits obvious lateral inhomogeneity;the distribution characteristics of the shallow P-wave velocity structure are closely related to surface geological structure and formation lithology;the M7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake sequence is closely related to the velocity structure of the upper crust;the mainshock of the M7.0 earthquake occurred in the upper crust;the inhomogeneous variation of the velocity structure of the Jiuzhaigou earthquake area and its surrounding medium appears to be the deep structural factor controlling the spatial distribution of the mainshock and its sequence.The 3D P-wave velocity structure also suggests that the crustal low-velocity layer of northeastern SGB(Songpan-GarzêBlock)stretches into MSM(Minshan Mountain),and migrates to the northeast,but the tendency to emerge as a shallow layer is impeded by the high-velocity zone of Nanping Nappe tectonics and the Bikou Block.Our results reveal an uneven distribution of high-and low-velocity structures around the Tazang segment of the East Kunlun fault zone.Given that the rupture caused by the Jiuzhaigou earthquake has enhanced the stress fields at both ends of the seismogenic fault,it is very important to stay vigilant to possible seismic hazards in the large seismic gap at the Maqu-Maqên segment of the East Kunlun fault zone.

Fault plane parameters of Sanhe-Pinggu M8 earthquake in 1679 determined using present-day small earthquakes

The great Sanhe-Pinggu M8 earthquake occurred in 1679 was the largest surface rupture event recorded in history in the northern part of North China plain. This study determines the fault geometry of this earthquake by inverting seismological data of present-day moderate-small earthquakes in the focal area. We relocated those earthquakes with the double-difference method. Based on the assumption that clustered small earthquakes often occur in the vicinity of fault plane of large earthquake, and referring to the morphology of the long axis of the isoseismal line obtained by the predecessors, we selected a strip-shaped zone from the relocated earthquake catalog in the period from 1980 to 2009 to invert fault plane parameters of this earthquake. The inversion results are as follows： the strike is 38.23°, the dip angle is 82.54°, the slip angle is -156.08°, the fault length is about 80 km, the lower-boundary depth is about 23 km and the buried depth of upper boundary is about 3 kin. This shows that the seismogenic fault is a NNE-trending normal dip-slip fault, southeast wall downward and northwest wall uplift, with the right-lateral strike-slip component. Moreover, the surface rupture zone, intensity distribution of the earth-quake and seismic-wave velocity profile in the focal area all verified our study result.

Which velocity model is more suitable for the 2017 M_S7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake?

On Aug.8, 2017, an M_S 7.0 earthquake struck Jiuzhaigou, a county of Sichuan province, China. A number of investigations and studies have been conducted, some of which involved local velocity models. However, the suitability of these models has not been properly addressed. Here we collect 11 already-existing models, including those used in studies of the 2017 M_S 7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake,choose 10 local stations surrounding the earthquake, and employ the same technique(TRIT) to relocate the hypocenter. And furthermore, we choose a more suitable model from the 11 already-existed models by analyzing the relocation process and the relocated results for reasonability. Finally, our conclusion is that the model Fang 2018 is more suitable and the hypocenter parameters, 103.801°E,33.192°N and 15.8 km for longitude, latitude and depth, respectively, and 2017-08-08 13:19:46.66 for its origin time, based on this model should be recommended for the 2017 M_S7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake.

Using Airgun Source Signals to Study Regional Wave Velocity Changes before and after the Yunlong M_S5.0 and Yangbi M_S5.1 Earthquakes

On the basis of the airgun source signals recorded by the stations from January,2016 to June,2017,we use cross-correlation detection technology to obtain the characteristics of the stable phase travel time change of each station.We used the Yunlong MS5.0 and Yangbi MS5.1 earthquakes as samples.According to regional characteristics,13 stations with high signal-to-noise ratios and complete data were selected(including 3 fixed stations and 10 active source stations).They are divided into four regions,and on the basis of the GNSS baseline data,the characteristics of regional wave velocity changes before and after the earthquake are analyzed.The results show that the station phase travel time change and the regional stress characteristics represented by the GNSS baseline data have good correlation in the short-term.Due to different degrees of regional stress,there are differences in the travel time changes of different stations in the four regions.Before the Yunlong MS5.0 and Yangbi MS5.1 earthquakes,with regional stress adjustment,there is an upward trend in the travel time changes of related stations in the adjacent areas of up to 0.02 s.The difference is that there are differences in the time nodes and duration of the travel time anomalies,and there is a reverse descent process after the Yangbi MS5.1 earthquake.There are different degrees of travel time fluctuations in the relevant stations before and after the two earthquakes,but the fluctuation range before and after the earthquake was small.Compared with the water level change of the reservoir,the adjustment of the regional stress is more likely to have a substantial impact on the travel time changes of the relevant stations.

Near-field surface deformation during the April 20,2013,Ms7.0 Lushan earthquake measured by 1-Hz GNSS

The April 20, 2013, Ms7.0 Lushan earthquake was successfully recorded by closely spaced Continuous Global Positioning System （CGPS） stations owned by the Crustal Movement Observation Network of Chi- na （CMONC）. The 1-Hz GNSS data from eight CGPS stations, which are located between 30 km and 200 km from the hypocenter, were processed within quasi-real-time. The near-field surface deformation indicated the following characteristics ： the near-field movements were limited to several centimeters ; the peak of the deformation wave was significantly larger than the static permanent offset; at the beginning of the event, the north wall of the fault moved to the southeast as the south wall moved to the southwest ; station SCTQ, which was the closest station to the hypocenter at 30 km, had the largest static permanent displacement of 2 cm; the peaks of the deformation waves were 1.5 cm, 5 cm and 3 cm, to the east, the south and vertically upward, respectively ; and the peaks of velocity and acceleration, derived from the deformation, were 3.4 cm/s and 5.3 cm/s^2,respectively.

Directional seismic response to the complex topography:A case study of 2013 Lushan Ms 7.0 earthquake

Azimuthal variations in site response can provide a good insight into the site amplification and seismic conditions of geohazard occurrences.In this study,multiple directional site response methods,including D-Arias(Directional-Arias),D-SER(Directional-Shaking energy ratio),D-HVSR(Directional-Horizontal to vertical spectral ratio)and D-SSR(Directional–Standard spectral ratio),are adopted to analyse seismic data of the 2013 Lushan Ms 7.0 earthquake captured by the self-established Lengzhuguan(LZG)station which consists of the complex topography of isolated ridge,large mountain and some typical micro-reliefs.The results show that the isolated ridge could cause stronger site responses than the large mountain,and whose pronounced response direction is roughly perpendicular to its ridgeline.With the growth of elevation,the siteresonant frequency decreases.The different microreliefs on the mountain cause different site responses,which present as protruding slope>linear slope.The site response mainly exists on the surficial layer of the mountain and shows that with the increase of the distance to mountain surface,the site response gets weaker,the site resonant frequency gets higher,and the pronounced response direction is perpendicular to its ridgeline.

Focal mechanism of Luding M 6.8 earthquake, September 2022 and analysis of the loading role of the tectonic stress on the seismogenic fault

To reveal the seismogenic mechanism of the Luding earthquake, we employed the 118 China Seismic Network stations to collect the P-wave polarity data from each station, which was then used in the P-wave first motion approach to calculate the focal mechanism solution of the M6.8 Luding earthquake that occurred on September 5,2022. We have also studied the loading effect of tectonic stress on the Luding earthquake fault based on the stress field data for the research area. The results indicate that this earthquake was a strike-slip type, the nodal plane I:strike 167°, dip angle 78°, slip angle 2°;Nodal plane II: strike 77°, dip angle 88°, slip angle 168°. The two fault planes’ instability coefficients of the Luding earthquake are examined considering the region’s background stress field’s condition. The nodal plane I in the Moho circle is discovered to practically coincide with the Coulomb failure line and the tangent point of the Moho circle, indicating that this nodal plane has a high instability coefficient compared to the nodal plane II. The conclusion is that the nodal plane I has a higher likelihood of being the seismogenic fault plane, which is congruent with the seismogenic fault plane suggested by the aftershock distribution, the earthquake radiation energy distribution of a single station, and seismic intensity distribution.The Luding earthquake’s focal mechanism is highly like the theoretical focal mechanism of the fault situated at the location where the Coulomb failure line intersects the Mohr circle, demonstrating that background stress is what caused the earthquake. The substantial fault instability and similarity between the solved and theoretical focal mechanisms make it easier to comprehend the loading effect of tectonic stress on the Luding earthquake fault.

九寨沟7.0级地震孕育过程中的地震学特征

以2017-08-08四川九寨沟7.0级地震为研究对象,使用地震前震中附近10个台站宽频带地震仪数据计算地面运动速度的排列熵,讨论地面运动排列熵的时空变化与大地震孕育之间的关系。结果表明,2017-07下旬,震中附近排列熵出现两次异常变化,幅度最大的一次出现在2017-07末。10个台站均存在熵减过程,其中马尔康台(MEK)、舟曲台(ZHQ)和迭部台(DBT)的排列熵下降幅度较大,熵值分别为0.75、0.76和0.79,与均值相比分别下降12%、12%和10%。多个台站熵值的降低表明,地壳运动中有序振动信号的占比增大。震中东北部和西南部低值区的空间演变图像也表明,熵值异常变化与此次大地震的形成有关。结合以往研究结果认为,青藏高原地块的东移与华北地块和华南地块的阻挡导致此次地震的能量积累,受阻后的中下地壳物质上涌和侧挤引发九寨沟7.0级地震。

华北平原中南部聊城-兰考断裂的第四纪晚期活动性探测——兼论1937年菏泽7.0级地震发震机制

华北平原是中国人口最多、经济最为发达的地区之一,也是受地震灾害影响最为严重的地区之一。对于该地区断裂活动性和大地震发震机制的研究有利于探索板内地震的发震规律、减轻地震灾害所造成的损失。聊城-兰考断裂是华北平原中南部一条重要的隐伏深大断裂。结合浅层地震勘探、钻孔勘探和第四纪测年方法,对聊城-兰考断裂的活动性进行了精细的研究。坝城寺钻孔揭示聊城-兰考断裂南段错断了全新统底界,为全新世早期活动断裂,揭露出该断裂晚更新世以来造成了4次古地震事件,单次事件的垂直位错为1.2±0.2~3.7±0.2 m。根据钻孔揭示的地层落差计算出该断裂晚更新世早期的平均垂直滑动速率约为0.1±0.05 mm/a,晚更新世晚期—全新世中期的平均滑动速率为0.35±0.04 mm/a。根据1937年菏泽7.0级和6(3/4)级地震的等震线和地表破裂分布特征认为,小留-解元集断裂和东明-成武断裂为该地震的发震断裂;聊城-兰考断裂对于该地区应力的积累、地震的发生具有很好的控制和约束作用,为区域控震构造。

Characteristics and Analysis of the Seismic Damage from the MS7.0 Jiuzhaigou Earthquake in the Area between Songpan and Jiuzhaigou

This paper expounds the features of the buildings and analyzes the seismic disaster characteristics of the Jiuzhaigou M_S7. 0 earthquake in the area between Songpan and Jiuzhaigou. New buildings (especially the frame structure) had good anti-seismic performance,but brick-wood structures and brick-concrete structures sustained large amounts of damage in the earthquake. By computing the seismic damage index,we found that the seismic damage index of the frame structure was far less than that of civil structures and brick-wood structures. The seismic damage index of frame structures were all zero in the Ⅵ area,and increased rapidly with the increase of intensity,but the increasing range was reduced. We also discussed how to evaluate the intensity in areas where there was a lack of buildings or there was only one structure type,which can be referenced in future field work.

Seismic response of cracking features in Jubao Mountain during the aftershocks of Jiuzhaigou Ms7.0 earthquake

Jiuzhaigou is a world-heritage site located in the plateau area of Northwest Sichuan Province,China.Serious slope failures in the epicentral area were triggered by the Ms7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake occurred on August 8,2017.The source areas of the hazards are usually concentrated near ridge crests,revealingthe possible occurrence of ground motion amplification phenomena.To explore the role of the amplification of ground motions in the formation of earthquake-triggered slope failures,two seismometers were installed,on the next day after the main shock,at the bottom of the slopeof Jubao Mountain near the seismogenic fault.The two monitoring sites are located at elevations of 1414 m(J1)and 1551 m(J2,the top of the mountain).Five aftershocks were recorded by the monitoring instruments.We compared the mean levels of the peak ground acceleration(PGA)observed at different locations,and investigated the directional variations inthe shaking energy by analyzing the polar diagrams of the Arias intensity(Ia).Then,in order to identify the directional resonance phenomenonandtheir frequencies and amplification coefficients,we examined the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio(HVSR)and the standard spectral ratio(SSR).Polar diagrams of theArias intensity(Ia)indicated that the site response of Jubao Mountain showed a pronounced directivity(in theEW direction)with shaking maxima near the hill top oriented orthogonally to the elongation of the relief.We observed anobvious resonance phenomenonat site J2 at relatively low frequencies(2.5-9 Hz)and very weak spectral amplifications at site J1 at high frequencies(5-15 Hz),which suggested that the predominant frequency of monitoring site J2 was obviously attenuated and that the difference in the spectra was related to the influences of the local-scale site conditions of the whole mountain.The results of spectral ratio analyses(HVSR and SSR)showed that the direction of resonance was concentrated around an EW orientation,and the amplification factors near the hill top were larger than 2.It suggests that geologic factors also play a significant role in the anisotropic amplifications affecting the tops of slopes besides the topographic effects.
