Rome is affected by earthquakes associated to three different seismogenic districts: the Central Apennines area, the Colli Albani volcanic area and the Roman area. The major effects were exclusively due to Apennine seismicity and reached in some cases felt intensities up to VII–VIII degree (MCS scale). The predominant role in the damage distribution seems to be played by the local geological conditions. The historical centre of the city is characterized by the presence of two geomorphologic domains: the alluvial plain of Tiber river and the topographic relieves of Roman Hills, where tradition indicates the first site of the city foundation. In particular, the right river side is characterized by the outcropping of the regional bedrock along the Monte Mario–Gianicolo ridge, while the eastern relieves are the remnants of the Sabatini and Albani volcanic plateau, deeply eroded by the Tiber river and its tributaries during the last glacial low-stand (Würm). These domains are characterized by a large difference in seismic response, due to the high impedance contrast between Holocene coarse deposits filling the Tiber Valley and sedimentary and volcanic Plio–Pleistocene units. Seismic damage observed in 150 monuments of downtown Rome was indicating a significant concentration on alluvial recent deposits. This result was confirmed by the geographical distribution of conservation and retrofitting activities subsequent to main earthquakes, mostly related to local geological conditions. The cases of Marcus Aurelius' Column and Colosseum confirmed the influence of the Holocene alluvial network in local seismic response. During 2500 years of history, the monuments of Rome have `memorized' the seismic effects of historical earthquakes. In some cases, the integration of historical and geological research and macroseismic observations may provide original and useful indications to seismologists to define the seismic response of the city. Local site effects represent a serious threat for historical buildings in Rome and in other historical towns with similar cultural heritage and geological characteristics, as in the Mediterranean region, even in areas that are not affected by a local seismic activity. 相似文献

The 3D structure of the Mygdonian sedimentary basin (N. Greece) is investigated. The aim of this study is to propose a 3D model of this sedimentary structure that can later be used to model the seismic records currently being obtained by the permanent accelerograph network operating in the area. This model builds on previous efforts and incorporates new data. The geometry and dynamic properties of the soil layers were inverted using data from microtremor array measurements, seismic refraction profiles, boreholes, and geotechnical investigations. Phase-velocity dispersion curves of Rayleigh waves were determined at 27 sites in the basin using the spatial autocorrelation method (SPAC) introduced by Aki [1]. S-wave velocity profiles were inverted from these dispersion curves and the whole valley structure was interpolated using our new results and all previously available data. The proposed 3D model describes the geometry and shear-wave velocities of the Mygdonian and pre-Mygdonian sedimentary systems, and the top bedrock surface. Our results indicate that this 3D model correctly reflects the geometry and dynamic properties of the sedimentary layers. The case of Euroseistest, where the subsoil structure is the result of bringing together many disparate data, could be used as an example for similar alluvial basins throughout the world, where usually only scarce data is available. 相似文献

Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, is located at the confluence of White and Blue Niles. The city is heavily populated. Central Khartoum with its high-rise buildings is the center of governmental and business activities and is located on a strip adjacent to the Blue Nile. Geological and geotechnical data indicate that the subsoil conditions at Central Khartoum are characterized by alluvial deposits underlain by Nubian Sandstone at a depth of 25 m. The alluvial deposits, locally known as Gezira formations, consist of clays grading into silt and sand with depth. Macro seismic zonation of Sudan and its vicinities, developed by the authors, gave the ground acceleration at the bedrock surface. The effect of alluvial deposits in Central Khartoum on propagation of seismic motion parameters to the ground surface is investigated in this study. Correlations are proposed for pertinent cyclic soil properties such as shear modulus, damping, and shear wave velocity. The Equivalent-Linear Earthquake Response Analyses (EERA) Model was used to study the effect of local soil conditions on ground-motion parameters. In the absence of strong-motion records in Khartoum, available worldwide strong-motion records are used. Plots showing the time histories of ground motion parameters at the ground surface are obtained. The results indicate amplification of ground motion of up to 4.93. The predicted fundamental period of soils is about 0.5 s which is typical for these types of soils. The maximum spectral acceleration varied from 0.76 to 0.95 g. For design purposes, a response spectrum curve is proposed. 相似文献

采用有限元模拟方法建立了建筑群-沉积谷地二维模型,并在土体截断边界上施加粘弹性人工边界,在频域与时域中对比分析此体系和单独沉积谷地的地震反应,观察地震时沉积谷地与建筑群之间的动力相互作用规律。分析表明,沉积谷地中建筑群对谷地本身的地震反应具有显著影响。入射波频率较低时,由于共振效应的存在,在部分区域处建筑群-沉积谷地体系的地表位移响应幅值会大于单独沉积谷地,但随着入射波频率的增加,建筑群的存在又会对地震反应产生明显的减弱效果;建筑群对谷地的影响还与建筑高度和建筑间距有关,且不同位置处的响应也存在很大差异。计算结果可为沉积谷地中设防烈度的设置以及工程抗震设计提供部分理论依据。 相似文献

The paper focuses on the strong motion array deployed in the upper Aterno River Valley, in the immediate outskirts north-west
of the town of L’Aquila, which is part of the Italian Strong Motion Network operated by the Department of Civil Protection.
The array is composed of six accelerometric stations located along a cross section of the valley. The importance of this array
relies on the fact that a large amount of high-quality records were obtained during the 2009 L’Aquila seismic sequence, from
both the mainshock and several aftershocks. These data are especially important to investigate site effects in sediment-filled
valleys during moderate earthquakes in epicentral area because well-documented observational studies are very limited in the
literature. However, the main drawback for the study of site effects in the Aterno valley is the lack of a detailed knowledge
of the geometry of the valley, soil layering and dynamic properties of materials. The main motivation for this study stems
from the need to provide a reliable subsoil model of the valley coupled with high-quality strong motion data. Based on the
above, in the framework of S4 project, a major effort was undertaken to get a trustworthy cross section of the valley by an
ad hoc investigation, comprising geological and geotechnical surveys as well as an extensive geophysical campaign, characterized
by both active and passive measurements. These results were complemented by additional geological and geotechnical data available
in the literature. By merging all the information acquired, a 2D subsoil model of the transversal section of the upper Aterno
valley has been produced. The valley is characterised by an asymmetric shape with a shallower rock basement at the western
edge of the valley that deepens at the valley centre. Moreover, based on the results of geophysical tests, representative
Vs values were assigned to the different lithologic units forming the alluvial deposits filling the valley. Shear wave velocity
is a fundamental parameter for ground response studies and it is also effective in classifying the accelerometric station
from a seismic point of view. The 2D model may be therefore, considered a benchmark model for future studies of site effects.
It will offer the possibility to examine site effects with a complex underlying geology and to validate the results of numerical
simulations of site response analyses with the numerous observations from earthquake recordings, both for weak and strong
ground motion conditions. 相似文献

A joint analysis of down-hole (DH) and multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) measurements offers a complete evaluation of shear wave velocity profiles, especially for sites where a strong lateral variability is expected, such as archeological sites. In this complex stratigraphic setting, the high “subsoil anisotropy” (i.e., sharp lithological changes due to the presence of anthropogenic backfill deposits and/or buried man-made structures) implies a different role for DH and MASW tests. This paper discusses some results of a broad experimental program conducted on the Palatine Hill, one of the most ancient areas of the city of Rome (Italy). The experiments were part of a project on seismic microzoning and consisted of 20 MASW and 11 DH tests. The main objective of this study was to examine the difficulties related to the interpretation of the DH and MASW tests and the reliability limits inherent in the application of the noninvasive method in complex stratigraphic settings. As is well known, DH tests provide good determinations of shear wave velocities (Vs) for different lithologies and man-made materials, whereas MASW tests provide average values for the subsoil volume investigated. The data obtained from each method with blind tests were compared and were correlated to site-specific subsurface conditions, including lateral variability. Differences between punctual (DH) and global (MASW) Vs measurements are discussed, quantifying the errors by synthetic comparison and by site response analyses. This study demonstrates that, for archeological sites, VS profiles obtained from the DH and MASW methods differ by more than 15 %. However, the local site effect showed comparable results in terms of natural frequencies, whereas the resolution of the inverted shear wave velocity was influenced by the fundamental mode of propagation. 相似文献

Flowslides that override a liquefied substrate can vastly enhance a disaster after failure initiation. These effects may result from the rapid velocity and long runout distance from slides mobilized into flows. It is thus crucial to provide an improved understanding of the transformation mechanisms of catastrophic flowslides for hazard evaluation. This study examines the Saleshan landslide in Gansu, China, which occurred in 1983 and killed more than 200 people. The Saleshan landslide travelled for approximately 1 km due to pore water pressure generation resulting from overrunning and liquefication of the alluvial sands in the river valley below. We used geomorphologic and topographic maps to determine its dynamic features and mobilization behaviors on the landslide body, and placemarks and seismic signals to identify its approximate velocity at different sites. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) surveys also revealed the hydrogeological conditions post-landslide, showing a clear groundwater table along with the liquefied alluvial sand and gravel layers. Particle size distributions and triaxial shear behaviors confirmed more ready liquefaction of superficial loess and underlying alluvial sand in comparison with the red soil above and below them. Novel loading impact triaxial testing was also performed on the alluvial sand to elucidate its liquefaction potential in undrained and drained conditions. The alluvial sand was found to be markedly prone to liquefaction in undrained conditions due to impact-induced increased pore water pressure. The results further demonstrated that the Saleshan landslide underwent a transformation from a slowing slide on a steep slope, where it originated, to flow on a nearly flat terrace with abundant groundwater that it overrode. The transformation mechanism involved the liquefied alluvium sand substrate, which greatly enhanced the landslide mobility. Along with recent, similar findings from landslides globally, substrate liquefaction may result in a widespread, significant increase in landslide mobility and thus hazard, and the present study identifies the requisite conditions for this phenomenon to occur. 相似文献

— Detailed shear-wave velocity profiles versus depth have been obtained in typical lithostratigraphies of Napoli. FTAN and hedgehog methods have been applied to Rayleigh surface waves recorded in refraction seismic surveys. The comparison with literature measurements shows good agreement with nearby down- and cross-hole tests. The pumiceous and lapilli content, and the different welding and alteration degree of the Neapolitan pyroclastic soils cause a strong scattering of the shear wave velocities (VS) from bore-hole measurements, even for the same formation. Surface measurements, based on FTAN-hedgehog methods, determine average VS along travel paths of about 100 m, give results that are comparable with down- and cross-hole velocity profiles, and have the additional advantage of being less scattered, and thus more representative of average properties than bore-hole measurements. The results of surface measurements should be preferred in the computation of realistic seismograms and are particularly suitable in urban areas, as they are not destructive and need just one receiver. 相似文献

In northern Chile, which is part of the Atacama Desert, groundwater supply and storage are controlled by deep structural phenomena. Several geophysical exploration techniques were used to determine the structure and depth of the basement of a broad valley filled with unconsolidated alluvial deposits. The gravity method was applied to obtain a general picture of the basement. This was followed by seismic refraction measurements along two traverse lines which appeared to be of major interest. Additional experiments with the magnetic and the telluric methods supplemented the geophysical investigations. In this paper the results of the different geophysical methods are presented, compared, and evaluated with respect to the usefulness in arid regions. It is concluded that a complementary use of the gravity method and the seismic refraction method is a very fruitful and efficient approach for the geophysical reconnaissance of water-bearing basins in flat and arid zones like the Atacama Desert. 相似文献

Building codes have widely considered the shear wave velocity to make a reliable subsoil seismic classification, based on the knowledge of the mechanical properties of material deposits down to bedrock. This approach has limitations because geophysical data are often very expensive to obtain. Recently, other alternatives have been proposed based on measurements of background noise and estimation of the H/V amplification curve. However, the use of this technique needs a regulatory framework before it can become a realistic site classification procedure. This paper proposes a new formulation for characterizing design sites in accordance with the Algerian seismic building code(RPA99/ver.2003), through transfer functions, by following a stochastic approach combined to a statistical study. For each soil type, the deterministic calculation of the average transfer function is performed over a wide sample of 1-D soil profiles, where the average shear wave(S-W) velocity, V s, in soil layers is simulated using random field theory. Average transfer functions are also used to calculate average site factors and normalized acceleration response spectra to highlight the amplification potential of each site type, since frequency content of the transfer function is significantly similar to that of the H/V amplification curve. Comparison is done with the RPA99/ver.2003 and Eurocode8(EC8) design response spectra, respectively. In the absence of geophysical data, the proposed classification approach together with micro-tremor measures can be used toward a better soil classification. 相似文献

The present work deals with 1D and 2D ground response analysis and liquefaction analysis of alluvial soil deposits from Kanpur region along Indo-Gangetic plains. Standard penetration tests and seismic down hole tests have been conducted at four locations namely IITK, Nankari village, Mandhana and Bithoor at 1.5 m interval up to a depth of 30 m below the ground surface to find the variation of penetration blows and the shear wave velocity along the depth. From the selected sites undisturbed as well as representative soil samples have been collected for detailed soil classification. The soil profiles from four sites have been considered for 1D and 2D ground response analysis by applying the free field motions of three Himalayan earthquakes namely Chamba earthquake (Mw—5.1), Chamoli earthquake (Mw—6.4) and Uttarkashi earthquake (Mw—6.5). An average value of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) obtained from 1D and 2D analysis is considered for liquefaction analysis and post-liquefaction settlement. The excess pore water pressure ratio is greater than 0.8 at a depth of 24 m from ground surface for IITK, Nankari village, Bithoor sites. More than 50% of post liquefaction settlement is contributed by layers from 21–30 m for all sites. In general, the soil deposits in Kanpur region have silty sand and sand deposits and are prone to liquefaction hazards due to drastic decrease of cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) at four chosen sites in Kanpur. 相似文献

Three-dimensional scattering of seismic waves by a cylindrical alluvial valley embedded in a layered half-space is investigated by using the combination of the boundary integral representation and the finite element method. The surface displacements due to incident plane harmonic body waves (P, SV and SH) propagating at an arbitrary angle to the axis of the cylindrical valley are evaluated numerically for two semi-elliptical alluvial valleys. The presence of the layer is found to have a strong effect on the amplification of the surface displacements in some cases. The three-dimensional motion seems to be quite critical and may cause large amplification. The surface ground motion becomes significant when compared with corresponding free-field motion as the wavelengths become comparable to the characteristic length of the valley. The maximum amplification always occurs atop the valley. Numerical results show that the amplitude and the amplification pattern of the surface displacement strongly depend upon the frequency, the angle and the type of the incident waves. 相似文献

Past and recent observations have shown that the local site conditions significantly affect the behavior of seismic waves and its potential to cause destructive earthquakes. Thus, seismic microzonation studies have become crucial for seismic hazard assessment, providing local soil characteristics that can help to evaluate the possible seismic effects. Among the different methods used for estimating the soil characteristics, the ones based on ambient noise measurements, such as the H/V technique, become a cheap, non-invasive and successful way for evaluating the soil properties along a studied area.In this work, ambient noise measurements were taken at 240 sites around the Doon Valley, India, in order to characterize the sediment deposits. First, the H/V analysis has been carried out to estimate the resonant frequencies along the valley. Subsequently, some of this H/V results have been inverted, using the neighborhood algorithm and the available geotechnical information, in order to provide an estimation of the S-wave velocity profiles at the studied sites.Using all these information, we have characterized the sedimentary deposits in different areas of the Doon Valley, providing the resonant frequency, the soil thickness, the mean S-wave velocity of the sediments, and the mean S-wave velocity in the uppermost 30 m. 相似文献

—?The geology of Lisbon is very diversified, with a predominance of cretaceous rocks (basalt and limestone) in the western zone, while east and south it is covered by progressively thicker Tertiary deposits with diverse lithologies (sands, clays, silts, sandstones and limestones) and different geotechnical properties. Lisbon also contains several narrow long valleys, filled with thin alluvial deposits. A set of new geological profiles was drawn, along the east–west direction, 500 meters spaced. These profiles were based on the existing geological maps and complemented with new information collected from recent geotechnical boreholes. Theoretical modeling, using the Thomson–Haskell 1-D approach, was performed for 314 geological columns chosen from these profiles according to a regular grid 500 meters long. The physical parameters were obtained from specialized literature, seismic experiments and laboratory tests. The results are presented as contour maps for the peak frequencies and for the corresponding amplification factors. These results are compared with the microzonation map obtained by microtremor analysis and with the damage distribution observed in past earthquakes. 相似文献

—?Modern seismic codes usually include provisions for site effects by considering different coefficients chosen on the basis of soil properties at the surface and an estimate of the depth of bedrock. However, complex local geology may generate site amplification on soft soils significantly larger than what would be expected if we assume that the subsoil consists of plane soil layers overlaying a homogeneous half-space. This paper takes advantage of the large number of previous studies of site effects done at Euroseistest (northern Greece). Those studies have supplied a very detailed knowledge of the geometry and properties of the materials filling this shallow valley. In this paper we discuss the differences between site effects evaluated at the surface using simple 1-D computations and those evaluated using a very detailed 2-D model of the subsoil structure. The 2-D model produces an additional amplification in response spectra that cannot be accounted for without reference to the lateral heterogeneity of the valley structure. Our numerical results are extensively compared with observations, which show that the additional amplification computed from the 2-D model is real and affects by a significant factor response spectra, and thus suggests that some kind of aggravation factor due to the complexity of local geology is worthy of consideration in microzonation studies and seismic codes. 相似文献

This paper presents an analytical solution for two-dimensional scattering and diffraction of plane P waves by circular-arc alluvial valleys with shallow saturated soil deposits. The solution is based on Biot's dynamic theory for saturated porous media, and derived by employing Fourier–Bessel series expansion technique. In this analysis, soil deposits in the circular-arc valley are modeled as saturated porous media based on Biot's dynamic theory, and the circular-arc valley is assumed to be imbedded in an infinite half-space, filled with elastic single-phase media. Numerical results from this solution show that the amplitudes of displacement at the surface of an alluvial valley are mainly relative to the angle of incidence, the dimensionless frequency of incident P wave, the degree of saturation and porosity of soil deposits, and the stiffness and Poisson's ratio of the solid skeleton of the soil deposits. Furthermore, the proposed solution is compared with the previous solution, in which the soil deposit was modeled as an elastic single-phase solid. 相似文献
