Depth-varying rupture properties of subduction zone megathrust faults [PDF]

, 2012
Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman (M_w 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw 8.8), and 2011 Tohoku (M_w 9.0) great earthquakes had similar depth variations

Basin Resonance and Seismic Hazard in Jakarta, Indonesia

Geosciences, 2018
We use earthquake ground motion modelling via Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) and numerical simulation of seismic waves to consider the effects of site amplification and basin resonance in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. While spectral

Shallow Basin Structure and Attenuation Are Key to Predicting Long Shaking Duration in Los Angeles Basin

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
Ground motions in the Los Angeles Basin during large earthquakes are modulated by earthquake ruptures, path effects into the basin, basin effects, and local site response. We analyzed the direct effect of shallow basin structures on shaking duration at a

Wavelet-based response spectrum compatible synthesis of accelerograms-Eurocode application (EC8) [PDF]

, 2009
An integrated approach for addressing the problem of synthesizing artificial seismic accelerograms compatible with a given displacement design/target spectrum is presented in conjunction with aseismic design applications. Initially, a stochastic dynamics

Estimation of the source process of the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal, earthquake and simulation of long-period ground motions in the Kathmandu basin using a one-dimensional basin structure model

Earth, Planets and Space, 2016
The source rupture process of the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal, earthquake was estimated by the joint kinematic source inversion with near-field waveforms, teleseismic waveforms, and geodetic data.

Source process of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake (Mj7.3) inferred from kinematic inversion of strong-motion records

Earth, Planets and Space, 2017
In this study, we estimated source process of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake from strong-motion data by using the multiple-time window linear kinematic waveform inversion method to discuss generation of strong motions and to explain crustal deformation ...

Assessment of a seismic tuned mass damper with friction fail‐safe mechanism for the vibration control of high‐rise buildings

Structural Control & Health Monitoring, 2021
This study proposes a method for mounting a tuned mass damper (TMD) at the top of a high‐rise building through a fail‐safe (FS) mechanism using a friction device to protect against strong earthquakes, such as those with long‐period, long‐duration ground ...

Effects of Topography on Seismic-Wave Propagation: An Example from Northern Taiwan [PDF]

, 2009
Topography influences ground motion and, in general, increases the amplitude of shaking at mountain tops and ridges, whereas valleys have reduced ground motions, as is observed from data recorded during and after real earthquakes and from numerical ...

A complex storm system in Saturn’s north polar atmosphere in 2018 [PDF]

, 2020
Producción CientíficaSaturn’s convective storms usually fall in two categories. One consists of mid-sized storms ∼2,000 km wide, appearing as irregular bright cloud systems that evolve rapidly, on scales of a few days.
