Abstract:
Following the site classification methods proposed the Chinese seismic code (Code16) and the Next Generation Attenuation (GMX), the site conditions of 62 strong motion observation stations located in Sichuan, China were classified based on their site conditions. Then, the site amplification coefficients and high-frequency attenuation parameters (kappa(0)) of these selected stations were used to investigate the local site effect characteristics of each site classes in average sense. The result shows that, in the range of Code16 site class II, at frequencies above 10 Hz, the amplification of GMX site class C is significantly enhanced by the topographical effect due to narrow mountainous valley site condition; whereas at frequencies below 5 Hz, the amplification of GMX site class D is noticeably enhanced by the deep soft sediments. Considering the source slip model, the differences of quality factor between mountainous and basin aeras, the local site effects, and the average stress drop of regional aftershocks, the acceleration time series, Fourier Amplitude spectrum (FAS) and 5%-damped pseudo-spectral acceleration (PSA) of 9 stations located within 100 km rupture distance (R-rup) range with respect to the 2022 Lushan M(S)6.1 earthquake were simulated using the stochastic finite-fault simulation method. The result shows that, the simulated time series fit well with the S-wave portion of observation. Moreover, at period shorter than 8 s, the shapes of simulated FAS and PSA matched those of observations. The satisfactory simulation result supported that the current earthquake is most likely to be an aftershock of the 2013 Lushan M(S)7.0 earthquake. Moreover, the simulation result captured the obvious directivity effect observed when R-rup < 35 km. Finally, taking the average site amplifications and kappa(0) values of each site classes into account, the attenuation characteristics with respect to R-rup of simulated and observed peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and spectral acceleration at periods of 0.5 s, 1.0 s, 5.0 s, and 8.0 for 167 basin and 130 mountain stations with R-rup < 150 km were compared. The result indicates that, the attenuation rate of ground motion parameters and the levels of PGA and PGV of basin and mountain stations are similar. However, at period longer than 1.0 s, the spectral accelerations of basin are systematically larger than those of mountain area.
