Abstract
Rupture directions of 17 northwestern Chiba prefecture earthquakes with Mw3.8-5.9 are estimated assuming the unilateral rupture using azimuth-dependency of apparent source spectral ratios. Rupture directions of at least near 1/3 of earthquakes have frequency-dependency. This result can be interpreted that different-sized strong motion generation areas are located at the different directions from the hypocenter. The largest two repeating earthquakes with Mw5.9 are estimated to have the same stress drop, but they ruptured to different direction each other and the directions have frequency-dependency. Ground motions within 100 km of most of earthquakes have rupture directivity effects up to 10Hz.
期刊介绍:
The Architectural Institute of Japan’s Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering aim to pursue theories for building and maintaining pieces of architecture as well as the cities or areas surrounding them, and to accumulate and systematize the knowledge needed to put those theories into practice. The Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering focuses on research results in the specific fields of “building materials and construction” and “structures.” Accordingly, it compiles articles in the following areas, disseminates relevant information, and hosts discussions: ・Concrete, steel, and inorganic materials ・Timber and organic materials ・Finishing materials ・Construction and quality management ・Applied mechanics ・Loads and reliability on structures ・Building foundations ・Timber structures ・Steel structures ・Reinforced concrete structures ・Shell and spatial structures ・Engineering seismology and structural dynamics ・Other composite structures
