Vs30-based Coherency Model

Abstract

Strong ground motion caused by earthquakes at every point of extended structures would not be same. This difference in ground movement has an important effect on the design of these types of structures. Meanwhile, the seismic resistant design has been lead to investigate the variability of earthquake ground motion over last decades. This variability of strong ground motion can define in terms of frequency or time. In this study, frequency domained variability named coherency is considered. Several coherency models have been proposed without considering soil effect. In this context, spatial variation of seismic ground motion based on the average shear wave velocity over the upper 30 m of depth, Vs30 is analyzed. Initially, coherency values are calculated using data triggered during six earthquakes recorded by the Istanbul Earthquake Rapid Response System. Lagged coherency data is considered in the process to get the coherency model. Nonlinear regression analysis is used for the model to obtain a good-fit to observed data. A coefficient is defined based on Vs30 values of the station-pairs. The cohereny model based on this coefficient of Vs30 is derived for EW and NS components. It is expected that coherency function decreases with the increase of frequency and separation distance. The decrease in the coefficient of Vs30 causes decrease in coherency. The variance in the coherency model between EW and NS components is small. This coherency model is used to simulate spatial variable ground motion for the accurate seismic design of elongated structures for the future studies.
