Data for such an isoseismal map can be obtained by observation or, in some cases, by questions answered by residents after an earthquake . 2-3 Richter Magnitude Scale(里氏震级) In 1935, Charles F.Richter of the California Institute of Technology developed the Richter magnitude scale to measure earthquake strength. The magnitude, M, of an earthquake is determined from the logarithm to base ten of the amplitude recorded by a seismometer. (See Secs.2-4 and 2-5.) Adjustments are included in the magnitude to compensate for the variation in the distance between the various seismometers and the epicenter. Because the Richter magnitude is a logarithmic scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a ten-fold increase in measured amplitude. Richter magnitude is expressed in whole numbers and decimal fractions. For example, a magnitude of 5.3 might correspond to a moderate earthquake. A strong earthquake might be rated at 7.3. Great earthquakes have magnitude above 7.5 . Earthquakes with magnitudes of 2.0 or less are known as micro earthquakes. While recorded on seismometers, micro earthquakes are rarely felt by people. The magnitude of an earthquake depends on the length and breadth of the fault slip, as well as on the amount of slip. The largest examples of fault slip recorded in California accompanied the earthquakes of 1857, 1872 and 1906—all of which had estimated magnitudes over 8.0 on the Richter scale . Although the Richter scale has no lower or upper limit (i.e, it is “open ended”). the largest known shocks have had magnitudes in the 8.7 to 8.9 range. The actual factor limiting energy release –and hence Richter magnitude –is the strength of the rocks in the Earth’s crust. Because of the physical limitations of the faults and crust in the area, earthquakes larger than 8.5 in southern California are considered to be highly improbable. 2-4 Richter Magnitude Calculation The Richer magnitude, M, is calculated from the maximum amplitude, A, of the seismometer trace, as illustrated in Fig.2.2. A. is the seismometer reading produced by an earthquake of standard size (i.e., a calibration earthquake). Generally, A0 is 5 3.94 10− in (0.001)

Step 1:Determine the time between the arrival of the P-and S-waves. Step2:Determine the maximum amplitude of oscillation.

10 0 log A M A = ( 2.1) Equation 2.1 assumes that a distance of 62 mi (100km) separates the seismometer and the epicenter. For other distances, the nomograph of Fig.2.3 and the following procedure can be used to calculate the magnitude. Due to the lack of reliable information on the nature of the Earth between the observation point and the earthquake epicenter, an error of 5to 20 mi (10 to 40km) in locating the epicenter is not unrealistic. Step 1: Determine the time between the arrival of the P-and S-waves. Step 2:Determine the maximum amplitude of oscillation. Step 3:Connect the arrival time difference on the left scale and the amplitude on the right scale with a straight line. Step 4;Read the Richter magnitude on the center scale. Step 5 : Read the distance separating the seismometer and the epicenter from the left scale. Whereas one seismometer can determine the approximate distance to the epicenter, it takes three seismometers to determine and verify the location of the epicenter. 2.5energy release and magnitude correlation(释放能量和震级的关系) Once the Richter magnitude,M, is known,an approximate relationship can be used to calculate the energy,E,radiated. Most of the relationships are of the form of Eq.2.2. 10 10 0 log log E E aM = + [2.2] In 1956,Gutenberg and Richter determined the approximate correlation to be as given in Eq.2.3. E is the energy in ergs.(See app.A for conversions to other unites ) Although there have been other relationships developed ,Eq.2.3 has been verified against data from underground explosions and is the primary correlation cited. 10 log 11.8 1.5 E M = + [2.3] The radiated energy is less than the total energy released by the earthquake. The difference goes into heat generation and other nonelastic effects ,which are not included in Eq.2.3. little is known about the amount of total energy release. The fact that a fault zone has experienced an earthquake offers no assurance that enough stress has been relieved to prevent another earthquake. As indicated by the logarithmic relationship between seismic energy and Richter magnitude, a small earthquake (of magnitude 5,for example) would radiate approximately only 1/32 of the energy of an earthquake just one magnitude larger (of magnitude 6,for example). Thus it would take 32 small earthquakes to release the same energy as an earthquake one magnitude larger. 2.6length of active fault(活动断层的长度) Equation 2.4correlates the Richter magnitude, M,with the approximate total fault length, L in kilometers, involved in an earthquake. Such correlations are very site dependent,and even then there is considerable scatter in such data.

Significant ground accelerations in California include 1.25 g(1971 san Fernando earthquake,Pacoima damsite),0.50 g(1966 parkfield earthquake),0.65 g(1989 loma prieta earthquake )and 1.85 g(1992 cape Mendocino earthquake): Equation 2.7(as determined by Gutenberg and Richter in 1956)is one of many approximate relationships between the richter magnitude,m,and the PGA at the epicenter.Of course,the ground acceleration (in rock)will decrease s the distance from the epicenter increases,and for this reason,relationships called attenuation have been developed.(see sec 2-13), depth (hi a specific tor (b) istance(ion the b nt eq2.7 nd for locations but they all ba ased on limited data.Such studies regularly result in moccmnedur revisions of the s ovisions of build of strong-phase shaking (see sec.2-14)in the vicinity of the epicenter of california earthquakes.The values of acceleration in the table are somewhat on the high side.

2.7length of fault slip(断层滑动长度) Equation 2.5(as derived by King and Knopoff in 1968) correlates the richter magnitude,M, and the fault length,L (in meters), with the approximate length of vertical or horizontal fault slip,D(for displacement ) in meters. As with Eq.2.4, this correlation should be considered representative of the general relationship. 2 6 10 log ( 10 ) 1.90 2.65 LD M = − [2.5] 2-8 PEAK GROUND ACCELERATION Peak Ground Acceleration(地震峰值加速度) The peak (maximum) ground acceleration , PGA, is easily measured by a seismometer (see sec. 2-14) or accelerometer (see sec.2-15) and is one of the most important characteristics of an earthquake. The PGA can be given in various units, including ft/sec2 , in/sec2 ,or m/s2 . however ,it is most common to specify the PGA in gs(i.e.,as a fraction or percent of gravitational acceleration). Significant ground accelerations in California include 1.25 g (1971 san Fernando earthquake, Pacoima damsite), 0.50 g (1966 parkfield earthquake),0.65 g (1989 loma prieta earthquake ), and 1.85 g (1992 cape Mendocino earthquake); Equation 2.7 (as determined by Gutenberg and Richter in 1956) is one of many approximate relationships between the richter magnitude, m, and the PGA at the epicenter. Of course, the ground acceleration (in rock) will decrease as the distance from the epicenter increases, and for this reason, relationships called attenuation equations have been developed. (see sec. 2-13) blume’s 1965 equation (eq. 2.7) for California earthquakes depends on the epicentral distance (r’ in kilometers), the local depth (h in kilometers), and a specific site factor (b). Attenuation equations are very site dependent. Since eq.2.7 was developed, newer studies have resulted in better correlations in different formats and for many different locations, but they are all based on limited data. Such studies regularly result in revisions of the seismic provisions of building codes. Table 2.2 is a commonly cited correlation between magnitude, PGA, and duration of strong-phase shaking (see sec. 2-14) in the vicinity of the epicenter of california earthquakes. The values of acceleration in the table are somewhat on the high side. Ground acceleration in observed earthquakes usually has been lower.

Although there are some empirical relationship.no exact correlations of intensity magnitude and acceleration with damage are possible since many factors contribut to seismic behavior and structural performance.For example,seismic damage depends on the care that was taken at the time of building design and construction. Building in villages in undeveloped countries fare much worse than high-rise buildings in develoned countries in earthauakes of equal magnitudes this damage causes a coresponding lack of comrelation between intensity and magnitude. However,within a geographical region with consistent design and construction methods,fairly good correlation exists between structural performance and ground acceleration,because the Mercalli intensity scale is based specifically on observed damage Table 2.3 Approximate Relationship Between Mercalli Intensity and Peak Ground Acceleration Mercalli Intensity Peak Ground Acceleration 0.03 andbelow 0.03-0.08 VI 0.08-0.15 分 0.15-0.25 0.25-0.45 0.45-0.60 X 0.60-080 XⅪ 0.80-0.90 XⅫ 0.90 and above 2-I0 VERTICALACCELERATION(垂直加速度) The shear waves are at right angles to the compression waves.since there is nothing comstraining the shear waves to a horizontal direction,it is not surprising that the shear wave can be broken down into horizontal and vertical shear waves,respectively.

The current UBC-97 seismic design code is generally based on horizontal acceleration alone.This practice is justified by assuming that structures with horizontal seismic resistance will automatically have adequate vertical seismic resistance.One of the reasons this assumption has been accepted is that factors of safety should have been applied during the building design to ensure that a member is able to withstand a force equal to one gravity downward.

problem. Columns and walls in compression, cantilever beams, overhangs,and prestressed concrete structures that have not been designed according to specific seismic provisions are particularly susceptible to damage by vertical accelerations because they have little factor of safety against upward vertical acceleration. Transfer girders, horizontal members that support exterior perimeter columns in tube buildings, are definitely sensitive to vertical acceleration.
