compiled for many earthquakes<br />
• Provide estimate, useful average, but: surprises happen!<br />

Strength of <strong>Ground</strong> Shaking<br />
• Strength <strong>and</strong> duration of<br />
shaking depend on:<br />
– source effects<br />
• orientation<br />
• size<br />
• propagation<br />
direction<br />
– path effects<br />
– site effects<br />
• local rock layering<br />

<strong>Ground</strong> Shaking<br />
• For engineering purposes<br />
shaking is usually measured<br />
as acceleration in units of<br />
% g (acceleration of gravity:<br />
9.8 m/s 2 = 100% g = 1 g)<br />
– also used: gal (1 gal = 1 cm/s 2<br />
= 0.01 m/s 2 ~ 0.1% g)<br />
• <strong>Ground</strong> shaking is<br />
perceptible <strong>to</strong> humans if<br />
acceleration exceeds 0.5% g<br />
– “strong ground motion”<br />
• Structural damage in<br />
buildings not designed <strong>to</strong> be<br />
resistant usually occurs at<br />
10% g<br />

Liquefaction<br />
Liquefaction:<br />
– strength <strong>and</strong> stiffness of a saturated soil is reduced by<br />
earthquake shaking<br />
• shaking can cause water pressure <strong>to</strong> increase <strong>to</strong> the point where<br />
soil particles can readily move with respect <strong>to</strong> each other<br />
– soil is unable <strong>to</strong> support structures or remain stable<br />

METHOD OF PREPARATION<br />
Initial tsunami modeling was performed by the University of Southern California (USC)<br />
Tsunami Research Center funded through the California Emergency Management Agency<br />
(CalEMA) by the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program. The tsunami modeling<br />
process utilized the MOST (Method of Splitting Tsunamis) computational program<br />
(Version 0), which allows for wave evolution over a variable bathymetry <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong>pography<br />
used for the inundation mapping (Ti<strong>to</strong>v <strong>and</strong> Gonzalez, 1997; Ti<strong>to</strong>v <strong>and</strong> Synolakis, 1998).<br />
The bathymetric/<strong>to</strong>pographic data that were used in the tsunami models consist of a<br />
series of nested grids. Near-shore grids with a 3 arc-second (75- <strong>to</strong> 90-meters)<br />
resolution or higher, were adjusted <strong>to</strong> “Mean High Water” sea-level conditions,<br />

Seismograms<br />
• Each seismogram is composite of:<br />
– Earthquake source effects<br />
– Propagation <strong>and</strong> site effects => Earth structure<br />
• It may therefore be difficult <strong>to</strong> independently resolve either<br />

<strong>Parameters</strong><br />
Seismogram<br />
• Amplitude<br />
• Wavelength<br />
• Period = time between waves in seconds<br />
• Frequency = number of waves passing a given point in 1<br />
second (measured in cycles per sec: Hz)<br />
• Velocity (seismic ~ km/sec, depends on material)<br />

<strong>Motion</strong> Period<br />
• Seismograms, like white<br />
light, are composites of<br />
waves of many different<br />
frequencies<br />
• Usually recorded ground<br />
motion will be<br />
combination of short<br />
period motions <strong>and</strong> long<br />

• Body Waves<br />
– Travel through Earth’s interior<br />
– Fastest<br />
– Dominate at short distances<br />
– High frequencies/short period<br />
(1-30 Hz)<br />
• Surface Waves<br />
– Travel along Earth’s surface<br />
– Long period<br />
– Dominate at larger distances<br />
– Generated most efficiently by<br />
shallow earthquakes<br />
• Peak ground motions are<br />
produced by body waves at<br />
distances shorter than ~<br />
twice crustal thickness (30<br />
km)<br />

Earthquake<br />
Failure<br />
• Earthquake failure process is often described as rock fracture<br />
– If rock is subjected <strong>to</strong> stress, eventually fracture occurs<br />
• It may be more appropriate <strong>to</strong> view earthquake faulting as frictional<br />
sliding<br />
– sliding surface ~ earthquake fault, formed by long-term geological<br />
processes, <strong>and</strong> represents weak zone<br />

Strain Leads <strong>to</strong><br />
Stress: Elastic<br />
Rebound<br />
• Both sides of fault are gradually moving past one another,<br />
whereas fault is locked, accumulating strain<br />
• This flexure places greater <strong>and</strong> greater stress on fault<br />
• When it exceeds strength of fault, fault slips, <strong>and</strong> surrounding<br />
rock rapidly snaps back => earthquake<br />

Use of <strong>Ground</strong> <strong>Motion</strong> Measurements<br />

1. how ground shaking propagates through the Earth (especially near<br />
the surface)<br />
2. how buildings respond <strong>to</strong> this ground motion<br />

Engineering Geology II<br />
Urban Networks<br />
• Rapid proliferation of arrays in recent years, especially in<br />
urban areas<br />
• Small scale ground motion variability cannot yet be resolved by<br />
most existing arrays: insufficient spatial sampling.<br />

Engineering Geology II<br />
Building Arrays<br />
• Most seismometers are free<br />
field (i.e. away from large<br />
structures), but some are<br />
located in buildings, dams<br />
or bridges<br />
• For example:<br />
– UCLA Fac<strong>to</strong>r Building<br />
Seismic Array<br />
• 17-s<strong>to</strong>ry moment-resisting<br />
steel frame structure with<br />
embedded 72-channel<br />
accelerometer array<br />
– Bay Bridge<br />
• 72 accelerometers<br />

Availability<br />
http://www.strongmotioncenter.org/<br />
• Many strong motion databases are accessible through<br />
Internet<br />
– Parametric data<br />
– Full waveform data<br />
– Some in near real-time<br />
• Format not st<strong>and</strong>ardized<br />

Data Format<br />
• Most seismogram formats contain:<br />
– header<br />
• event information<br />
• station information: metadata<br />
– location<br />
– response<br />
• time information<br />
– start time<br />
– time interval<br />
– number of points<br />
– ground motion data<br />
