Abstract

Strong Ground Motion Simulations Around Princes Islands Fault The main objective of this study is to simulate broad-frequency-band strong ground motion waveforms resulted from the rupture of Prince Islands Fault, to provide input accelerograms for linear and non-linear time history analyses of the engineering structures. Simulations are performed using Green’s Function methodology developed by Hutchings and Wu (1990) [1]. The methodology considers physical based rupture process and takes into account different source parameters to investigate their effects on amplitude and frequency content of simulated waveforms. As a result, the low frequency energy content of the simulated waveforms has significant role in the characteristic of strong ground motion for large earthquakes in Marmara region

Prens Adaları Fayında Kuvvetli Yer Hareketi Benzeşimleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, mühendislik yapılarının doğrusal ve doğrusal olmayan zaman ortamı analizlerine girdi verisi oluşturmak için, Prens Adaları Fayı’nın kırılmasıyla meydana gelmesi muhtemel büyük bir deprem sonrasında oluşacak yer hareketi dalga formlarını geniş bir frekans bant aralığında tahmin etmektir. Benzeşimlerin hesaplanmasında Hutchings ve Wu (1990) [1], tarafından geliştirilen fiziksel tabanlı yırtılma süreçlerini göz önüne alan Green Fonksiyonlar yöntemi kullanılmış ve farklı kaynak parametrelerinin bu dalga formlarının genlik ve frekans içeriklerini nasıl etkilediği incelenmiştir. Elde edilen dalga formlarında alçak frekans bandındaki enerji dikkat çekicidir ve bu husus, bölgede meydana gelebilecek büyük manyetüdlü depremlerde oluşabilecek yer hareketinin karakteristiği konusunda önemli ipuçları vermektedir
