Prediction of Earthquake Strong Motion

该项目继续研究预测强地面运动的创新方法，并评估包括地质不连续在内的场地参数。该方法提供了将场地效果的数学建模与强大的运动预测技术相结合的优点。该项目工作将强调场地效应(包括地质不连续)，以进行强震预测。将对强地面运动进行确定性模拟，以确定所选场地相关参数的敏感性，包括用于预测强地面运动的局部应力和不连续面。研究结果将为地震场地危险性评价提供统一的强震和地震重现性解释。

This project continues research on innovative methods to predict strong ground motions and evaluates site parameters including geologic discontinuities. The method provides the advantage of combining the mathematical modeling of site effects with strong motion prediction techniques. This project work will emphasize site effects (including geologic discontinuities) for strong motion prediction. A deterministic simulation of strong ground motions will be made to establish the sensitivity of selected site dependent parameters, including local stresses and discontinuities for predicting strong ground motions. The results will provide a unified interpretation of strong motions and earthquake recurrence for evaluating seismic site hazards.
