In view of the problem of insufficient statistic samples due to fewer qualified strong earth- quake records on the bedrock site, it also proposes that according to the features of ground motion response of the soil, the acceleration records on the soil site can be transformed into the equivalent acceleration records on rock site for a simultane- ous statistic analysis together with the records on rock site. Consequently, we have obtained by this method the near-source peak acceleration and the acceleration response spectra of small and moderate earthquakes on the site that could meet the need of nuclear facility and made a comparative analysis to the results from relevant researches. This new method for deter- mining diffuse earthquakes is only preliminarily verified in the paper and further research is needed for practical application.展开更多
