We analyze the strong motion accelerograms recorded for the large (MS=7.7, MW=7.3, mb=6.4) Rudbar earthquake of June 20, 1990. The earthquake had a complex source process. We have identified the imprints of rupture of three localized asperities on the major causative fault on the accelerograms. These asperities are interpreted to correspond to (i) the main shock that initiated the rupture process and was located in the domino block between the Kabateh and Zard Goli faults, (ii) a foreshock that occurred about 10 s earlier in the Kabateh fault and (iii) a later shock, on the western end of the Baklor fault, which terminated the bilateral rupture process at the western end. We estimate the strike, dip and slip of these causative sub-event rupture planes using the SH spectral amplitudes, based on a point source representation of sub-events and a non-linear least square formulation for inversion of the amplitude data. The results of our inversion of the near field data are comparable to other studies based on teleseismic data. 相似文献

Hybrid-Empirical Ground Motion Estimations for Georgia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Ground motion prediction equations are essential for several purposes ranging from seismic design and analysis to probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. In seismically active regions without sufficiently strong ground motion data to build empirical models, hybrid models become vital. Georgia does not have sufficiently strong ground motion data to build empirical models. In this study, we have applied the host-totarget method in two regions in Georgia with different source mechanisms. According to the tectonic regime of the target areas, two different regions are chosen as host regions. One of them is in Turkey with the dominant strike-slip source mechanism, while the other is in Iran with the prevalence of reverse-mechanism events. We performed stochastic finite-fault simulations in both host and target areas and employed the hybrid-empirical method as introduced in Campbell (2003). An initial set of hybrid empirical ground motion estimates is obtained for PGA and SA at selected periods for Georgia. 相似文献

The attenuation properties of the lithosphere in the Bam region, East-Central Iran, have been investigated. For this purpose, 42 local earthquakes having focal depths less than 25 km have been used. The quality factor of coda waves (Qc) has been estimated using the single back-scattering model. The quality factors Qp, Qd (P and direct S-waves) have been estimated using the extended-coda normalization method. Qi and Qs (the intrinsic and scattering attenuation parameters) have been estimated for the region. The values of Qp, Qd, Qc, Qi and Qs show a dependence on frequency in the range of 1.5–24 Hz for the Bam region. The average frequency-dependent relationships estimated for the region are Qp=(36±6)f(1.03±0.06), Qd=(59±8)f(1.00±0.03), Qc=(79±5)f(1.01±0.04), Qs=(131±4)f(1.01±0.04) and Qi=(104±6)f(1.01±0.05). A comparison between Qi and Qs shows that intrinsic absorption is predominant over scattering.The variation of Q has also been estimated at different lapse times to observe heterogeneities variation with depth. The variation of Q with frequency and lapse time shows that the lithosphere becomes more homogeneous with depth.The estimated Qo values at different stations suggest a low value of Q indicating a heterogeneous and attenuative crust beneath the entire region. 相似文献

An important step in effectively reducing seismic risk and the vulnerability of a city located in an earthquake prone area
is to conduct a ground motion microzonation study for the desired return period. The International Institute of Earthquake
Engineering and Seismology (IIEES) initiated a number of seismic microzonation projects for Iran. This paper presents the
steps followed by IIEES in ground motion microzonation. IIEES performs both probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard
analysis. IIEES uses his own fault map for seismotectonic studies and develops modulus and damping curves for the soils in
the study area. The experience of ground motion microzonation shows that in almost all cases, the estimated 475-year peak
ground acceleration (PGA) values are higher than the PGA proposed by the Iranian seismic code. Although ground motion microzonation
in Iran has some shortcomings, IIEES is making new improvement. This includes development in deterministic seismic hazard
analysis, two-dimensional and three-dimensional modelling of basin and topographical effects, using microtremor measurements
to find shear-wave velocity profiles in high-density urban areas and providing maps for spectral acceleration in the study
area. 相似文献

We analyze the strong motion accelerograms of the moderate (M
w = 6.1), March 31, 2006, Darb-e-Astane earthquake of western Iran and also those of one of its prominently recorded, large
(M
w = 5.1) foreshock and (M
w = 4.9) aftershock. (1) Using derived SH-wave spectral data, we first objectively estimate the parameters W o\mathit{\Omega} _{\rm o} (long period spectral level), f
c (corner frequency) and Q(f) (frequency dependent, average shear wave quality factor), appropriate for the best-fit Brune ω
− 2 spectrum of each of these three events. We then perform a non-linear least square analysis of the SH-wave spectral data to
provide approximate near-field estimates of the strike, dip, and rake of the causative faults and also the seismic moment,
moment magnitude, source size, and average stress drop of these three events. (2) In the next step, we use these approximate
values and an empirical Green’s function approach, in an iterative manner, to optimally model the strong ground motion and
rupture characteristics of the main event in terms of peak ground acceleration/velocity/displacement and duration of ground
shaking and thereby provide improved, more reliable estimates of the causative fault parameters of the main event and its
asperities. Our near-field estimates for both the main moderate event and the two smaller events are in good conformity with
the corresponding far-field estimates reported by other studies. 相似文献

The quality factors of coda and shear waves have been estimated for the SE Sabalan Mountain, geothermal region in northwestern
Iran. We have analyzed 65 local earthquakes with magnitude of 2.8 to 6.1 and 2.8 to 5 for shear and coda wave quality factor
estimation, respectively. These events were recorded on five stations installed by Building and Housing Research Center Network.
Coda normalization and Spectral decay methods have been used to estimate the frequency dependence attenuation relation for
shear wave, and single back-scattering method for coda waves. We have observed that the coda normalization method has supplied
significantly higher Q
S
values as compared to the spectral method. The results show that, in general, Q values are significantly smaller for the entire frequency range as compared to tectonically active areas and are close to
the values for volcanic areas. 相似文献

The attenuation of coda waves, Q
c
, has been estimated in Zarand, Jiroft, and Bam regions of east central Iran using a single back-scattering model of S-coda
envelopes. For this purpose, the recordings of 97 earthquakes by three seismic networks and a local strong ground motion network
have been used. In this research, the frequency-dependent Q
c
values are estimated at central frequencies of 1.5, 3, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 Hz using different lapse time windows from 20
to 60 s. The frequency-dependent relationships obtained are for Zarand, for Jiroft, and for Bam region. From the strong ground motion data, we obtain the relation . The Q
c
frequency-dependent relationship for the entire region of east central Iran from all data (both seismograms and accelerograms)
is . The average Q
c
values estimated and their frequency dependent relationships correlate well with a highly heterogeneous and highly tectonically
active region. Results also show that the attenuation is higher in Bam region compared to Zarand and Jiroft regions. 相似文献

The Earthquake Model of Middle East (EMME) Project aimed to develop regional scale seismic hazard and risk models uniformly throughout a region extending from the Eastern Mediterranean in the west to the Himalayas in the east and from the Gulf of Oman in the south to the Greater Caucasus in the North; a region which has been continuously devastated by large earthquakes throughout the history. The 2014 Seismic Hazard Model of Middle East (EMME-SHM14) was developed with the contribution of several institutions from ten countries. The present paper summarizes the efforts towards building a homogeneous seismic hazard model of the region and highlights some of the main results of this model. An important aim of the project was to transparently communicate the data and methods used and to obtain reproducible results. By doing so, the use of the model and results will be accessible by a wide community, further support the mitigation of seismic risks in the region and facilitate future improvements to the seismic hazard model. To this end all data, results and methods used are made available through the web-portal of the European Facilities for Earthquake Hazard and Risk (www.efehr.org). 相似文献

Attenuation of P and S waves has been investigated in Alborz and north central part of Iran using the data recorded by two permanent and one temporary networks during October 20, 2009, to December 22, 2010. The dataset consists of 14,000 waveforms from 380 local earthquakes (2 < M L < 5.6). The extended coda normalization method (CNM) was used to estimate quality factor of P (Q P) and S waves (Q S) at seven frequency bands (0.375, 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 24 Hz). The Q P and Q S values have been estimated at lapse times from 40 to 100 s. It has been observed that the estimated values of Q P and Q S are time independent; therefore, the mean values of Q P and Q S at different lapse times have been considered. The frequency dependence of quality factor was determined by using a power-law relationship. The frequency-dependent relationship for Q P was estimated in the form of (62 ± 7)f (1.03 ± 0.07) and (48 ± 5)f (0.95 ± 0.07) in Alborz region and North Central Iran, respectively. These relations for Q S for Alborz region and North Central Iran have estimated as (83 ± 8)f (0.99 ± 0.07) and (68 ± 5)f (0.96 ± 0.05), respectively. The observed low Q values could be the results of thermoelastic effects and/or existing fracture. The estimated frequency-dependent relationships are comparable with tectonically active regions. 相似文献

Pattern informatics (PI) algorithm, which was introduced at the beginning of past decade, uses instrumental earthquake catalogs to investigate the time-dependent rate of seismicity in the study area and, based on the information from past events, calculates the probabilities for the occurrence of future large earthquakes. The main measure in this method is the number of events above a specified magnitude threshold M c that is counted over a gridded area. PI has been applied in several regions of the world and different variants of the method have been developed over the past decade. Hence, the problem of formally evaluating and comparing the performances of the different PI variants needs to be addressed from an operational perspective, in order to identify the preferred application scheme and as well as to improve the performances of the method. In this study, PI is applied for the first time to the retrospective analysis of the earthquake catalogs of Iran and Italy, so as to check whether this method could forecast the past large events in these two regions with different level of data completeness and complex seismotectonic setting. The original PI algorithm and one of its modified variants, as well as the relative intensity (RI) model, are used to check the stability and statistical significance of the obtained results. In order to assess and compare the obtained results, the performances of the different PI variants are analyzed considering different evaluation strategies, which turn out to provide significantly different scores even for the same algorithm variant. We show that a critical point in the assessment of the obtained results is related with the definition and quantification of the space uncertainty of the issued forecasts, that is, with the extent of the territory where large earthquakes are to be expected. Accordingly, we emphasize the need for an appropriate definition of the evaluation strategies, clearly and unambiguously indicating the area where a large earthquake has to be expected. The study shows that, with respect to application in Iran and Italy, the performances of PI algorithm (both original and modified variants) are highly dependent on the selected evaluation strategy and do not provide better information than the simple RI model, which does not account for temporal properties of seismicity evolution. The overall performances can be improved by introducing specific thresholds that discard the less active cells; however, being based on some posterior optimization, a rigorous prospective testing is required to assess the forecasting capability of the method. In this paper, we aim to set up the rules for such testing, including advance definition of the evaluation strategy. 相似文献
