Characteristics of Earthquake Ground Motion on the Seafloor

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2015
The differences between onshore and offshore ground motions were studied based on the records from the K-net and SEMS. The horizontal response spectrum and vertical-to-horizontal response spectral ratio for offshore and adjacent onshore ground motions were analyzed.

Earthquake Ground Motions

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1988
In this review, we discuss some of the many phenomena that can determine the nature of strong ground motion. Some of these phenomena have been inferred from the study of existing ground-motion records, and others are inferred from theoretical models of earthquake sources and wave propagation.

Earthquakes and Ground Motion

2021
In Sect. 1.1, basic concepts and terms in “ground motion seismology” are defined. In Sect. 1.2, the fundamentals of “elastodynamics” are explained since “seismology” is built on a foundation of elastodynamics. The “equation of motion” and “wave equation” are then obtained for ground motion, and their nature as seismic waves with attenuation are ...

Earthquakes: Ground motion

New Scientist, 2012
The effect of an earthquake on people and cities depends on more than magnitude alone: the Earth's crust can amplify or dampen the severity of ...

The Motion of the Ground in Earthquakes

Scientific American, 1977
The slippage along a fault that produces an earthquake radiates seismic waves; the manner in which these waves shake the ground bears on the design of buildings and other structures in the earthquake zones. Since seismic waves span such a broad spectrum of period and amplitude, many different kinds of instruments and experimental techniques are needed ...
