Seismic Monitoring of a Slope to Investigate Topographic Amplification
Some earthquakes with a magnitude lower than Ms 7.0, such as Ludian earthquake in Yunnan in 2013, have triggered strong secondary geo-hazards in the form of slope failures. Topographic amplification is generally considered to be the main causal factor for these slope failures. However, until recently, this idea is not supported by appropriate seismic monitoring data. The Kangding Ms 6.3 earthquake on November 22nd, 2014 was monitored in Lengzhuguan, Sichuan Province, located 56 km from the earthquake epicenter. Six monitoring instruments have recorded this earthquake. The horizontal and vertical component Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), the site response directivity, the directional variation of the Arias intensity, and the acceleration response spectrum were determined from the data obtained. Conclusions could be drawn that the topographic amplification effect of the isolated ridge on the right bank was stronger than that of nearly linear slope on the left bank and the topographic amplification effect at a slope break was stronger than on a linear slope.
