Synthesis of spatially correlated ground motions at varying sites based on Vector-valued Seismic Hazard Deaggregation
Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive and rational approach of synthesizing spatially correlated earthquake ground motions. The physically compliant seismological spectra, which have been used in simulating ground motion at a single location, is extended to synthesize spatially varying ground motion (SVGM). The seismological spectra are then related to Vector-valued Seismic Hazard Deaggregation, based on which a simulation framework is proposed to resolve the problem that a number of simulations need to be carried out for ground motion generation based on uniform hazard spectra. The proposed approach of synthesizing SVGMs accounts for local site effect, including consideration of random and spatially variable soil profiles, combined P-wave, shear horizontal (SH) wave and shear vertical (SV) wave motions for simulating tri-directional SVGMs, and the effect of degree of water saturation.
Highlights ► A method to simulate spatially varying ground motions (SVGM) at varying sites is introduced. ► A rational simulation framework using seismological spectra determined by VSHD is proposed. ► A method to account for local site effect is derived for simulating tri-directional SVGMs. ► Influence of local site effects on coherency loss of wave motions is investigated.
